Luggage Travel Tips
Even if you are among the younger set, it really gets quite old very quickly carrying luggage by hand, or lugging a heavy tote bag on your shoulder.  Needless to say how sore your neck, arms and back are going to feel.  Enjoy your trip to it's fullest, and if you don't own a wheeled suitcase, buy one.  It's one of the best
investments that you can make for traveling.

Whether you need suitcases, luggage or baggage we have them here --dozens of selections -- every type bag, for whatever your need or occasion to select from.  Your travel should be enjoyable, so when traveling abroad or anywhere for that matter, we highly recommend luggage with wheels. Thank goodness that besides regular suitcases on wheels nowadays, you'll also find duffle bags and totes and most larger items all have wheeled selections.
 
 
Airports & Train Stations Baggage Handling and Secure Belts or Pouches Travel Tips
and of course wheeled briefcase models.  Don't destroy your neck, arms and back trying to lug these items
all over an airport or worse.  In the US we have porters readily available to help you at the airport or train
station.  This is not true in France, and Europe in general, it is just the opposite, so you'll be lugging or
toting your baggage yourself with no help or assistance.  So plan ahead and be aware of  these conditions
so that you're prepared and can handle your own baggage or luggage. 

You may think that buying rather non-descript purses and tote bags that are clear plastic unfashionable,
but in actuality they will allow you to pass through a security check point NO
sharp objects can be carried on your person [including your carry-on] such as nail files, pocket knives,
scissors -- anything that can be used as a potential threatening item.


One of the most important items to have is a secure money belt, waist pack or neck pouch, arm wallet or
leg pouch to carry your important documents like your passport and other important items including travelers
checks and cash and jewelry.  Secure anything that the would be thief would like to steal from you.  This is
quite common, and you need to be prepared for such events should they happen. Be sure that older children
have their own secure belts or pouches as well. Be aware in Train stations as well, they are busy, crowded
and people bumping into one another.  Don't have your valuables where they can nab them!  The old adage
says "out of sight...out of mind" which applies here, as well as your being observant of what's going on
around you. 

In our Passports and Visas section, you'll find contact information from the U.S. State Department with
contact information for Embassies and Consulates in all countries worldwide.  Having a purse or wallet
stolen is common, in turn if you're carrying your passport and other valuables in a purse or tote and it gets
ripped off -- you're in trouble.  Use the menu by regions of the world, and select the country or countries that
you'll be visiting. Also click on the Embassy information to get phone numbers and addresses to keep on
your person in that secure pouch.  Click here to get important Department of State information to print out
and  take with you on your trip.
