You know that's a great point Chris. Most long term travelers (at least the ones I've come across, myself included) actually don't pack light....

The whole pack light/carry-on only is so outdated.

Between hovering to get on a flight first so you can then fight for that coveted overhead space or airlines starting to have even more tiered pricing, now even charging for carry-ons, I'm done with that.

I'm a check-in bag only type of traveler now... So much less stress...
