So our honeymoon is in, like...four days. I can't even tell you how excited Kristie and I are to spend six nights, five days in paradise! I have some great guest posts coming up for you guys to enjoy while we're away, too.
In the meantime, I've been scouring the Internet for a good carry-on bag. Now, I'm not talking about carry-on luggage, but rather the elusive giant-yet-still-attractive tote bag. That's the most important thing in the world to me when traveling. I pack it full with all airplane necessities: passport, Kindle, my travel notebook, address book, socks (my feet are perpetually cold, but especially so on airplanes), sunglasses, cardigan, camera, phone, charger(s), toothbrush, mini toothpaste, mini deoderant, and a spare pair of underwear and maybe a bikini in case the main luggage gets lost.
This bag is kind of a big deal.
I used to have a vintage one made of bright red canvas that I loved, but one of the straps broke mid-flight on my way home from Chile a few years ago. I tried to ressuciate it with dental floss, but there was no hope. I scored a pretty good deal at Marshall's last week, though, so my emotional wounds are starting to heal. I'll share that bag soon (and a more detailed list of what I pack in it, if you can believe that it gets more detailed), but in the meantime, let's daydream together about the best carry-ons...
