Downsizing
Have you had a busted luggage in the middle of your trip? Guess what, I did!
Because of my goal to downsize in order to lessen the weight I carry, I have been using a smaller luggage. I bought this luggage at Walmart and have used it for many months, until I could no longer use it. I was having an issue with the zipper, but I still decided to use it on my trip. There you go, the zipper finally broke in Cincinnati. The staff helped me taped my busted luggage, but I still managed to used it for 2 days until I finished my trip.
It was embarrassing for me to carry a busted luggage. But I had to deal with it. We all got our lessons learned. I know this incident had thought me one.
To downsize is a good thing to do. Just make sure you got the right thing for it.
