@@TravelTipsbyLaurie Thanks. This is what I’m looking for.
Take a large plastic bag from
Like hobby lobby, Kohl’s, etc. fold up and keep in your personal bag and then stick your personal bag or backpack in it to keep clean before putting it under the seat! 👍🏼😎
Great tip!
I have done this for years . . . I am way too germ conscious but it does pay off.
I'm such a poor fellow I can't bring myself to pay more for a backpack than I would for a round trip ticket to Portugal.
I agree I’m not cheep but dang 😮
I agree - $475 for the Tumi is a little pricey
Woof! That Tumi is waaaay too Cha-Ching for this traveler! Still have my black Tumi computer bag from my professional days - I’ll just use that!💕
I go to Chinatown here in San Fran and buy a large black tote, two shoulder straps, other strap on it to hang on the suitcase, with zipper, and four outside net pockets for water bottle, coffee thermos, glasses..a small outside zip pocket, and plenty of room inside - for $15!!!! It's soft so I can put it under the seat in front of me. When I get to the destination I can use it for shopping or day trips. Stay frugal my friends!
Power towel roll as a unit of luggage dimensions is great.
Have you seen people review the trunks of cars with them? So smart
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie I haven't seen that. I'm glad you understood what I meant despite the spell check kindly rewriting the word Paper for me.
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie A bale of TP from Costco would be an excellent way to demonstrate car trunk capacity 🧻
Travelpro is my personal favorite for both a carry on and a personal item and they turn up at the thrift if you are diligent about looking. I recently invested in a bulletproof TravelPro crew 5 carry on to go with my personal item bag, ditching my lightweight TravelPro spinner in favor of durability. I can’t carry a tote anymore and am not buying any more bags.
The 17 inch Lovevook backpack and Level 8 carryon suitcase are my onlys!! Absolutely love them! Suggestion: With any new personal item play with it many days before your first trip with it. I’ve tweaked how I use my backpack and now it’s become routine as to where I put things and I’ve developed the muscle memory of how to keep it completely zipped up after accessing a compartment.
Great tip!
What kind of items do you put in the pockets? I really want this backpack but I think I would be overwhelmed with all the pockets.

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie TY!
chiming in here...I just flew British Airways. We were in premium economy which is its own section so there isn't a risk of you having to gate check. If you are bringing a wheelie or any other kind of carry on luggage and a personal item like a backpack or underseat bag, the underseat area is quite restricted because of how they design the footrest. I don't think you'd be able to fit one of those hard sided underseat bags. I brought a backpack that was within British Airways specified dimensions and it was extremely snug and it was not tightly packed or overstuffed. Just something to keep in mind for British Airways. The overhead bin on the otherhand is very generous but you are expected to only put one item up there.
What hard sided underseat bag are you talking about? I'd love to see its dimensions.
Good to know! I’ll be flying on BA in economy. My underseat bag will be my work backpack, packed as lightly as possible. I am open to your suggested backpack. What did you use?
@@SmallWorldFilms Not sure if this will help but it's 13" and I just found it. Not a backpack but looks like one: amzn.to/4cVSU8o
I had the Ecohub 16” travel backpack. I liked all the different pockets
However I will also add that if you are wanting to slip it over the pull handle of your roller bag, the strap that you’d slide over is really tight and was a bit annoying
I love my Foldie! I have a travel CPAP, so it fits in there along with my travel pillow, meds, thin jewelry case, tech bag, purse, etc.! It fits fine under the seat, even with the bottom compartment unzipped. Love all your travel hacks!
Wow that’s great!! Thx for letting us know.
Backpacks tend to be the best for me at airports. I can no longer carry totes due to injuries from an accident. But a backpack nicely distributes the weight so it doesn't cause excesses force on just one shoulder. Also I'm hands free and can bend over without a tote sliding and falling to the floor. I also carry a very small purse and that fits inside the backpack. When I"m out of TSA I take the purse out and carry it so it is more in front of my body so I can watch over my wallet.
I just traveled with the foldie and it fit under the seat (JetBlue). No problems.
Yay! Thanks so much.
Used the Foldie on Jet Star in Australia. Fabulous bag and light which.allowed me to pack more items. Folded it up and slipped into a pocket in my regular carryon which was too big for stingy Jet Star.
I would love to go to your yard sale to buy your rejects! Going on a Rhine River cruise this fall; studied your video on that but I watch it over and over so as not to miss anything!
Oh it’ll be so wonderful! Beautiful
The Rhine River is beautiful. You can buy a travel book about the Rhine River and it will give you mile markers and the things that you may want to know about each area. Informative and easy to use. I used to drive up the Rhine from Karlsruhe Germany and it was a great helper.
I have the Foldie and absolutely love it. It's great for travel and makes a great gift for traveler or college student.
It really is!
Love my Lovenook! It holds more than any other personal item tote or backpack I own. Thanks for recommending!
They do hold a ton!
Okay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the kislux book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
I got the Travelpro under seat bag that matches my carry-on. Love it. Huge inside, rectangle shape, great outside, inside pocket, and a side pocket with a trolly strap.
Thank you!!
The Foldie is a great option for people who travel carry-on only to the destination and check 1 bag on the return flight. I did this last year when I went to Italy because I knew I would be bringing extra stuff home.
Am curious, so- you checked thru your carry on suitcase on the way back? I did this also, but then was left with two bags to lug around the airport- which was quite heavy on my back. So, am now rethinking things.
Of course, I only put clothes/shoes/a couple books in my carry on that I checked thru on the way back, but anything breakable I wanted with me.
I have family that want me to bring back some items from our next European trip, so I’m scouting things out now! 😏
@@dessireshallenberger2836 Yup. On the way out I used my suitcase and my backpack. On the way home I checked the suitcase and had my backpack and my Foldie thru the airport. Thankfully, most of what my sister and I bought and wanted to bring home was fairly lightweight, so it wasn't too bad.
@dessireshallenberger2836 I am done lugging heavy personal items through stadium-sized airports. My personal item has to have at least 2 wheels. I also sometimes go carry on over and check luggage on the way back. The personal bag with wheels makes walking around so much easier and can also lug your purse. Laurie never checks luggage, so she can take any type of personal item and put it on top of her suitcase.
@@achevresI am with you, I cannot carry a backpack or crossbody bag through an airport. I have a wheeled bag that fits under most seats but need to replace it. What bag do you use and would you recommend it? Thanks in advance for any information you can share.
That's why I will be buying a July checked trunk with latches next year.
Thanks for all your great recommendations! I bought the Lovevook backpack in black to take on my recent trip to Jamaica. It fit perfectly under the seat in front of me. I did as you suggested and did not over stuff it. I also bought a Samsonite, hard exterior carry on with great wheels which fit nicely in the overhead compartment. Your opinions and suggestions were greatly appreciated. ⭐️✈️🏝️
Oh yay! I saw a new one at my book club last night! I bet it was a 17" one though.
A Day Owl backpack is one of the best things I've ever bought. It was ridiculously expensive to buy from outside US but I've used it for work and travel for 3 years and it looks new
Thanks for sharing!! What features do you like?
@TravelTipsbyLaurie I like that nothing sticks out physically or style. The waterproof waterbottle/umbrella pocket is inside and the front pocket is flat. It is pretty plain and simple so I can use it casually or for work. The strap doesn't have any hardware that digs into my body in awkward places. It is a bit floppy without a laptop in the back
I prefer my underseater or my packable backpack for my personal item. It fits a lot. I don't like duffle bags for a personal item. It gets heavy to carry. So I will only use a duffle for a road trip, where I don't have to carry it far.
Yes but I do like when there is a trolley strap for it to fit on the suitcase handles.
❤😊Thank you as always, Laurie. You’re the best! I have almost ALL but the Nomad Lane tote, of these bags and my favorite is the Tumi backpack. I’ve had it for over a decade. But I may get the Nomad Lane tote soon. I just prefer carrying weight on my back - not my shoulder.
I, too, have a Tumi backpack. My favorite personal bag so far. Great quality.
Yes, it's the ONLY tote bag I like...but I actually love it.
I had my upholsterer add a backpack strap to my Nomad Lane tote, and it makes all the difference in the world! The original version of the Nomad Lane tote did have a backpack strap, but in the V2 they omitted it.
The tote bag reminds me of my Baggillini from years ago, I love, that I got on a great discount at Marshall’s.
Love all Baggillini's. The problem is, Marshall’s will get a shipment and people buy them all and resell on eBay, etc. so I don’t get many now. They never wear out.
I ❤ all of my Baggallini bags. I always luck up at TJ Maxx.
Thank you guys for the Marshall’s tip.
I never knew you had a black cat! I'm glad you mentioned wearing a backpack frontways. Going to Puerto Rico.
Ooh red beans and rice!!!
I was thinking the same thing - about the cat!
Fun bags! They each are awesome for what they offer! Thank you, Laurie!
Laurie, so AWESOME to meet you today at Mother-Loaded! Tell your hubby I’m sorry I fan-girled your lunch!!!!
Thanks so much Daniella! I tagged you in Insta just now. Thx for saying hi!
LOVE your videos Laurie. A breath of fresh air and I am always learning something.
As a fan of Tumi, I am glad to see you bringing some of their stuff to the fore. I really like that bag. It is so functional yet stylish. It has a lot of space, but you don't have to fill it and it will look good whatever you pair it with. That military green goes with everything.
Wonderful as usual.
Wishing you all the best on your travels too.
Hi! Yes if standing, it does not budge. Very sturdy yes very functional.
HEY kislux !! I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day
Thank you Laurie 🙏💜
I felt this wonderful feeling in my mind, body and soul when she said “I prefer kislux
The Fjall Raven KÅNKEN backpack is fantastic! Zips like a suitcase and holds much more than you would expect but is small enough to meet all the airline’s requirements. I found mine at an upscale thrift store and used it on my Australia trip where we had strict personal item guidelines. Highly recommend! I found strap covers that made the backpack straps comfy. It also can double as a city bag to hold your stuff while you explore.
I would need padding on the straps in the back of the bag because they really dig into my back and cause a lot of pain carrying it around if it’s full. I would probably choose another bag for travel due to this.
@@kittykathy9532 They make padded strap covers. I got them for my bag.
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the kislux leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
There are many alternatives to the Foldie bag on Amazon. Personally, I think Foldies are way overpriced for what they are, even at 2 for 1. There are dozens of "weekender" bags that work the same way. Just be sure the straps originate near the bottom of the bag and are sewn all the way up the sides and are not just connected to little d-rings that are attached near the top. Some great and more reasonable alternatives are Bagsmart and Calpack bags.
My favorite bag to use is my Uniqlp round bag in large, it's small and very spacious! I also use a backpack as my personal item bag, I prefer the Herschel backpack since it's cute and has lots of pockets.
If anyone is looking for a Foldie-type bag, don’t bother getting a fake. The Foldie is higher quality in every way. The main thing to me is that that outer pocket on the front (the one you would fold the bag itself into) has a TWO WAY zipper. The cheap ones only have one zipper, so when you open it things can fall out the side. Laurie mentioned this same problem with a different bag.
Thanks!
I love backpacks but rarely use them for travel, so crazy 🥴 These look absolutely great!!
And with a child it would help so much so you can be hands free.
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie | You’re absolutely right
I bought the Foldie recently and I can’t wait to use it on an upcoming trip. Thanks for going over the bag!
Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for the info on the Foldie. I do not understand the hype. It reminds me of my hugely oversized teacher bags from the 90’s that were so dang heavy and probably contributed to my aches and pains! I really like the foldable Paravel duffle for a possible extra bag for purchases in my carryon.
It's great but just large.
All dat kislux bags sssssoooooooo gorgeous
Hi Laurie, I love your channel!! Could you do a video on RFID wallets that are your favorite to travel with? Thank you!
Hi this is my all time favorite: amzn.to/4clKEhk
please do a video for recommendations for the differences in underseat size between aisle, middle, and window. There is a difference. I like aisle and had issue with using my Beis carry bag because it is not so smashable. ie. if you have aisle on United you have to leave the shoe zip section behind. luckily I was able to unzip the shoe zip section and put overhead but my co flyers were not happy at my fumbling with the bag. Advice on specific to which seat you normally like would be very helpful and which bags are suitable for each would be very helpful.
kislux I love you so much and watching your videos makes my day brighter
Yes the color of the kislux is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
Thank you for reviewing the Foldie. It is ALL over my Instagram feed and I’ve been tempted to buy it!
They are marketing big time! It's a great bag and company.
That Tumi backpack is really nice but it’s basically a clone of my Amazon backpack - similar to your striped one but all navy and gold hardware. It does have only that one zipper around the outside pocket but it has two other front outside pockets (or back? Since it’s a backpack) so not really a problem. Also a secret passport pocket on the other side. I love it.
Pretty sure Amazon copied Tumi and not the other way around. It’s a common design.
So glad!
The variety of textures in the kislux pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
Ilove my Lovenook striped bag, it has been to Greece and Europe. I did buy a strap so I could put over my shoulder, using as a backpack wasn't always convenient. I'm considering cutting off the backpack straps.
Ooh that's creative!
My mom bought one kislux and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.
I love my foldie for souvenirs. Packs in my luggage without really taking up space and then I don’t have to try and fit all the souvenirs in my luggage on the way home. Used it for my Europe trip last year and will use it again this year.
It is such a great bag!
Thanks 🙏🏼 I appreciate your videos. Your information is always helpful and useful.
You are so welcome!
I travel with a boho elephant fabric cross body bag. The first one's zipper broke after 10 years so I got a new one which is slightly deeper so I used safety pins to shorten it for my Frontier flight coming up. It works for me at $14.
Thanks for reviewing the Foldie. At one point I was seeing so many ads on Instagram for them. I wasn't tempted to buy one, though, because it really doesn't seem to be any different than the bags on Amazon. I have one of the Amazon bags and it looks the same, is just as larger (if not larger), and is at least half the price of Foldie.
It’s a great bag and some have mentioned that it does fit under airplane seats.
I think the foldie is great. I haven’t used it as my personal item bag though. I’ve used it as (1) an extra bag to bring back extra stuff at the end of a trip and (2) as a weekender or overnighter. I have the 2.0 but recently got the new version to give them to my college kids to keep in their dorm. It folds down and is perfect to store in a small space, but huge, so perfect for them to travel for a few days.
It’s great!
I love you so much! I recently just found your kislux and i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life
you’re literally my comfort person i love you kislux !
Always enjoy your videos, Laurie! I have an older version of the Foldie (no side pockets) and I have to say it's the first one I reach for when traveling! It weighs next to nothing and it carries SO MUCH. I can fit almost my entire suitcase's things in there. I also like that it's slouchy and not structured--makes it a lot easier to squeeze under the seat in front of me. I've never had any issues getting it onto an airplane (I also don't extend it for carry on), but I also haven't traveled on any airline that is super strict about the dimensions. But just in case, I also like that it seems to be sturdy enough to check if I had to. It can get heavy to carry, so I do have to be mindful not to overfill it, especially if I won't have a rolling suitcase to attach it to. It is also perfect for road trips. I have a backpack similar to your striped one with the meta bar at the top, and I never found it comfortable for travel, so I use it to carry my laptops to work. Always been curious about the Nomad Lane bags--thanks for including them in your video!
I love hearing different views of those who've traveled with it.
Great options Laurie, thank you! Just recently found your channel and am just so enjoying all of your great travel tips.
Welcome!
Really great video!! I especially loved the black tote bag! 😀
I'm going to Scotland next week for 10 days with only carry on, thanks to you. I know I can do it.
You can do it!
I love kislux that on the butterfly bag it says auguri / tanti auguri which means happy birthday
My favorite and go to back back got travel is the Solgaard medium venture. Great organization and padded shoulder straps. I’m 5’1 129 pounds and can carry this one.. Pricey but worth it
Gotta say…… kinda obsessed with your channel. Getting ready for a long haul flight to Europe on a Lufthansa Airbus 380. Although I have flown several times to Europe, the size of this plane is quite unnerving to me. Thanks for all your tips.
Hi, we've been in the very back of the upper deck. Not the best seats. But you can hardly tell that thing is moving! So quiet. Enjoy!
I ordered the Foldie a few days ago. My plan is to use it on the way home for the tee shirts and hoodies I always buy on vacation.
Totally! The pilot wives like I said would do that. Great plan. You’ll love it
I took both of my Nomad Lane Totes (different colors) to my upholsterer and she added a strap to make them a backpack also. Nomad Lane’s first version of the Tote had that feature and I was disappointed when the V2 did not have that capability. Love them even more now!!!
Wowzers!
Osprey Daylite 26+6 backpack is my new personal item backpack. Expands to 32L for souvenirs on the way back, has water bottle pockets, laptop sleeve, horizontal trolley sleeve, and it’s lightweight. $100.
I sent the Lovevook back because it had no cross body strap. I tried slinging it on my shoulder with a backpack strap but it was really awkward. The two handles were very short, so no go there. Right now, I am debating between a MyGreen vs a Cabinmax Manhattan. I may wind up keeping both. The MyGreen is really great because of the crossbody strap in addition to the backpack feature and the handles are adjustable! 2 side pockets, great for an umbrella.The Cabinmax is beautiful and also has a cross body strap along with the backpack feature. The side pocket is huge for a water bottle. Both conform to EU economy airline standards!
I was looking for something lightweight and compact for touring while in Europe. So thanks for the insight of the bags. The lightweight travelon is best for me as I could pack it in my luggage.
- I bought a couple of crossbody travelon bags- 1-the smaller one (travel tour bag) is a little bulky. 2- And the 5pt antitheft signature collection is bag, that I may bring it as a personal bag, but it’s too small for a personal bag.
Btw-I question the cancer warning on the travelon’s or other antitheft products. Is this because of the material? I’m older so I just worry about that cancer warning. Any thoughts?
$475 for a backpack? That’s ridiculous!
Yep that's why I have never had one; but I got it on major sale a while back.
100% that’s ridiculous!
I'm team tote bag. I want to love the backpacks, but I don't do a backpack well. I wish the totes had a laptop sleeve. I'm still searching for the "perfect" one.
Minkee Blue has a really nice tote with a full-width laptop sleeve. I have one & I love it!
I hate back packs because you have no quick access: you always have to set it down to get things. I am also paranoid about thefts from behind
Did you see the tote bag at the end? It is the ONLY one I've ever liked to travel with.
Hi Laurie, I really like that Lan Yu purple tote bag (smaller than Foldie's). Would you please tell me where did you get it? I googled Lanyu bag and could not find a site or store to purchase it. Thank you!
Thank you! I am going to Paris in October! Your channel has been very helpful.
Happy to help!
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the kislux as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
I use nordace backpack… so far it’s was perfect for a 1 week Disneyland trip plus beach and as my personal item when I went to Miami for a week. I like your videos to show all the options for personal item❤ I have Tumi wallet and it’s amazing!!! My mom has the crossbody bags and they are like Mary popping bag… it’s small but it fits everything lol❤
Thanks so much for your details. I'm loving the Tumi backpack-it stands up on its own no matter what.
I just went on three trips on American, Turkish Airlines, and Aeromexico and my FOLDIE fit under every seat. It’s light and expandable. I love it!
Thank you so much for sharing this!
I just returned from Holiday using the Foldie as my personal item. It was a bit heavy because I used a liner for it to stand straight.
My mom bought one kislux and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.
My backpack suitcase was my best purchase for a 7 flight trip to Europe. It was supposed to be to be 5 flights BUT I got caught in cyberfailure a few weeks ago. I was so happy not to have to worry about a checked back when I didn’t even know when, where & how I was going to get back to the USA!
When you find a good bag, it's so helpful!
Just did a month long national park road trip and did a couple of flights as well (delta and united). I only took a carry on roller suitcase and a Foldie and it was great! I didn't use the expandable pocket, but it fit perfectly under my seat and I was able to attach on my big water bottle and access all my stuff. The trolley sleeve fit easily over my Hanke roller and it had a zip pocket for my passport and id. The wet bag pocket inside was great for swimsuits too. Edit to add: I packed in compression cubes inside!
It holds a ton! Glad to know it does fit.
Headed to Iceland in 2 weeks and have really enjoyed all your tips and tricks! Just ordered a Level 8 expandable carry on!
Have fun! It should be beautiful. Hope you love the bag.
@@TravelTipsbyLaurieI’ll have to let you know how it works out. I’m excited to try it.
Laurie, take the black & white backpack and have a second pull put on it so you can close up both side of the front pocket.
Great idea! I do still use it though.
Where could I get this done? I just bought this bag because I like the opening but I am worried about the front pocket. I might only use it for road trips.
@@kloverend Usually shoe repair shops can do it. Or you can just buy a pull at the "fabric" store and ask them to show you how.
kislux versace bag is so cute
I love kislux that on the butterfly bag it says auguri / tanti auguri which means happy birthday
I love my Lovevook - same model as yours but in black. Technically, you're correct in that the 15.6 inch size backpack is primarily a laptop backpack. However, I know it looks small, but, I'm' preparing for a 5 week trip in a few weeks, with a small checked bag, so I tested it and found I could easily fit a change of clothes in a compression cube at the bottom of the backpack and still have plenty of room left over!
Oh yes, like I said its base is larger than the gray one's for a compression cube of clothing. I do love it!
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie After I wrote that I found your video in which you demonstrated how to pack an extra set of clothes and fit it into your 15.6" gray backpack. Yes the other one is roomier, but it works in the smaller one too.
The key lanyard is great for AirPod cases… I use a case that is leather with a solid snap so the case doesn’t flip open and I lose and AirPod. It also has a loop that I can clip the key lanyard to so I don’t accidentally drop AirPods out of my bag.
Your hair really looks great in this video.
Thanks!
I love your videos! We are already planning our Christmas market trip for this year.
Ooh do not miss my what not to forget video for a Christmas market and have a magical time!
This is timely, I've been shopping for a personal item. Now looking for something similar to the Nomad Lane bags at a price point I feel like spending. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Their features are wonderful!
For UK viewers like myself, Mia Tui makes a bag practically identical to the foldie. I used it as an extra bag with my little pull along case on a road trip. Don’t think I’d use it for carry on type luggage though as it’s not multi functional for me and I like a backpack bag
I traveled to Mexico with the Foldie and it was torture having that heavy crossbody bag on the way home! Bought a backpack for my next trip.
I found the best backpack on Amazon 19.99!! I wish I could put a screenshot to show
Hi, Laurie! L9ve your videos & tips. Ive bought many revommendations. We're headed to Totonto on Porter Airlines & they charge for carryon bags! Im cheap & dont like to pay for luggage. Im trying to figure out personal item bags for a 4 day trip. Ill look into these
Can you review tolling backpacks as carry-ons. Thank you.
I just do not use them but have a rolling suitcase if that helps: amzn.to/4e4LBfv
I’ve purchased a diaper tote bag, years ago, that works as my personal carry on. It’s a little less expensive for an item I’m personally not using that much. Lots of pockets to organize. Just something for others to consider if you are looking to cut corners. You could even take one from a friend when they are tired of using it.
Awwww I miss my diaper bag. Smart inventions
@@jow.2450 Diaper bag backpacks are great for a “personal item.” So many pockets! I looked at them too.
I have the purple bag (in a different color) but haven't traveled with it yet and I have a bag similar to your striped bag. I'll use on my next trip.
It's great quality, right?
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie yes, was surprised when I got it. It is so spacious. Looking forward to using it.
Nice video! I have the striped backpack that you have and love it. Next time, I'm going to try the Coach Court backpack. It's only 12 inches tall, but still has different zippered compartments. We shall see how that goes. I did invest earlier this year in the Bento Bag. It is so nice, but fully loaded, it was very painful to carry. I've demoted it to car ride trips only. Sad about that. Thanks for the video. I'd like to see how you organize all your travel gear, suitcases, toiletry bags etc in your home when you aren't traveling. PS: Love my Level8 textured suitcase. We are carry on only. Did a 16 day Alaska cruise in the Level8 and a personal item. I just got the Level8 Voyageur carry on size to try next trip.
Yep I couldn’t use the Bento either after a few trips. I have a video called how to store travel gear between trips.
I came here to see if you reviewed this bag! 😂 I keep seeing ads on Facebook.
They’re everywhere! Thanks for watching.
I have the foldie and have used it several times as carry on.
Oh okay; thank you!
I love totes and the one you showed is really nice. Do you have a less expensive option? I don’t mind paying $100 or so but over $200 is a bit much. Thanks. Love, love your videos!
Did a long haul to London and I wish I hadn't brought a larger personal item. I had no space to stretch my legs out.
Ooh great thing to think about!
In the next 12 months we are doing an Alaskan cruise, Caribbean cruise, Bahamas family trip, and Savannah to test it out as a retirement possibility. It’s a LOT for us in one year.
Love Savannah!
Alot but oh so wonderful!
Good morning! I’m going to Cincinnati in November. Do you have a video to pack winter clothes? I know it’s going to be really cold when I go.
Now that Aerosmith was canceled (again) I'll be looking for an international trip in October. Great recommendations Laurie ! Hello Nathan & Aullie from Nanna Wanda (still traveling with my tiny Samsonite backpack & TravelPro under seater)
Again? I've heard it's such a good show.
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie they are now permanently retired, a "permanent vacation" 😢 I met them at Alex Cooley's ( I was clueless as to who they were ) And have experienced just about every ATL venue with them in concert. This concert was for a cousin's 55th 😞
