Flash Post: Pack It In
What It Is: I kind of feel like saying…wtf…because I travel quite a bit, and I’ve never seen, let alone heard, of these ingenious bags from Eagle Creek before. The brand is known for their packing organizers – compartments, cubes, and small bags that take up next to no space (or weight) in your luggage, and manage to maximize how much you can tote in a single trip. Of course, by their very nature, they also make packing and unpacking a cinch, and by organizing your goods by compartment, you won’t have to tear about your bag when you’re hunting for your other shoe or that perfect cardigan. The World Traveler Pack-It System above is sort of a good intro to the concept. It features 3 packing organizers in a fun zebra print – an 18″ holder that can store up to 12 items (and keeps them from getting wrinkled), a mesh top cube to air out belongings like swimwear, and a petite cosmo pouch to store unmentionables and cosmetics.
Who It’s For: Um me, but also anyone in your life that travels a fair bit – whether for a coworker that’s constantly taking the redeye, your kid that’s moving across the country, or your jetsetting bff as a fun honeymoon bon voyage gift.
What It Costs: $45 for all 3 pieces.
Where It’s At: I spotted them on the very awesome Canadian travel site, Jet-Setter.

Not going anywhere but I would love to visit Japan

I want to go to the Maritimes
Unfortunately no travel in my plans but I would love to go somewhere warm and tropical…Hawaii, Bahamas, Jamaica I’m not picky 🙂
I’m off to Vancouver,BC – bonus entry
I’m off to Wales in July!! Hoepfully the maritimes in October for Celtic Colours…This travel set is exactly what I’ve been looking for!
My next trip is for a cruise in Europe! I’d love these organizers — such a great idea. I’m off to explore the Jet-Setter site now!
P.S. Do you know of any sites that compare the weights/durability of luggage? I tried Consumer Reports, but they don’t seem to compare luggage anymore. I’m looking for something very lightweight, but that will stand up over the course of several years and many trips!
Hey Susan, I can’t think of any sites like that off the top of my head…that being said, a site like Sears actually has ‘compare these items’ features that may work for you, at least in terms of weight, warranty etc. You can also try a travel expert shop like Jet Setter – I’m sure they’d be happy to lend a hand and give you some advice. Have a fun cruise 🙂
We’re hoping to check out Ottawa, but I just broke my foot, so we may have to postpone 😦
Awesome luggage. I’d love to head south!
off to Vancouver Island this summer to see the grand kids, thanks
In an ideal world I’d love to win a trip to Italy, all expenses paid. Not too much to ask for, surely?
Nothing planned at the moment but would love to either go to New Zealand to visit friends or back to Britain to visit family we haven’t seen since we moved to Canada

Going to the cottage this summer and Orlando in fall.
