And so this travel adventure begins like every other travel adventure... with the empty luggage. Even before leaving the house, perhaps the most critical mission of the entire trip is the challenge of packing the optimal amount of clothing and necessities from home. Hours are spent doing laundry, sorting and folding, and staring at the contents of drawers and closets and asking yourself a litany of questions:

"Will I need this over there?"
"How many of these should I pack?"
"Do I still have room for this?"
And so on and on...

The eventual outcome, of course, is different for every trip. The game of packing and repacking can go on for hours. But, in the end, the rules will always be enforced by that piece of luggage. Expandable, rollable, and whatever else it may be able to do, that luggage is only going to carry so much...

So, here goes!
