Look, I admit it - I do moan about a few things and have complained about women's handbags in the past. See: HERE and HERE but it is forever a bone of contention.
What got me going again today is in finalising our booking for next month's flights to Australia. I've booked to include a suitcase each with a view to taking a small backpack as carry-on luggage to include my iPad, phone, wallet etc. No doubt I'll have to do battle to find overhead locker space for even this as there will be idiots taking on medium sized suitcases as carry on luggage. This has become a given and I'm used to it.
What I've never got used to though is that women will have stored luggage, a medium size suitcase as carry on luggage, probably a small backpack to carry the things like I put in mine .... plus a bloody great handbag that is larger than all the other shit they bring on-board. What's that about?

I also get pissed off when visiting art galleries, museums and public places where carry bags have to be checked in at the front desk. I use a small backpack to carry my phone, wallet and a water bottle and am forever asked to check this in. Going straight through though are women carrying handbags that are much bigger and cumbersome than my small backpack.
Sheesh!

I found on my one and only overseas trip that it's all about weight. Your main bag goes in the luggage. (Tip: make this bag brightly coloured and easily regonizable without lots of padlocks that make it seem worth stealing). You take a smaller suitcase that is under about 7kg that goes in the over head locker on the aeroplane. You can take a back back so long as it fits under the seat in front of you and also your own shoulder bag for passport etc.
Gosh!
Thanks for that.
It wasn't what I was writing about though.
I wish 'I'd known that on the 50 plus overseas trips I've made.
Next time take a back back.
Actually that’s more like over 150 overseas trips I’ve made. Where was Robert when I needed travel advice?
