Carry On Carrying On

As budget airlines find ever new ways of stinging you at the airport for "excessive" baggage (I'm sorry, but when a woman attends a wedding in Sydney and has several days of play to attend in said location, no amount of clothing/make-up/shoes can be considered excessive), I like to think back to when "in my day" no one weighed your carry-on bag with the per gram precision of an obsessive dieter "treating" herself to 2 grams of low-fat chocolate. A single gram over - $20 please. I still look with sorrowful longing as the Asian airlines still allow their peops to drag on all manner of shiz - not a scale or weigh station in sight. They don't know how good they've got it.

Anyway. The latest in travel dreams (apart from, obviously, scales that have been tipped 15kg backwards) is this Givenchy carry-on. Just behold for a moment. So stylish. So practical with the subtle little wheels and optional pull handle or uber-stylish shoulder strap.
