Lug's Baby Boom

Congrats to Michelle (left), who just had her baby girl, Olivia, and Allison, who is going on maternity leave tomorrow! Our beloved baby mamas are in good shape to welcome their little bundles, with our smart satchels that make for brilliant baby bags. A favorite? The Tuk Tuk Carry All, with its pockets for baby bottles; separate compartments for diapers, extra clothes, and toys; and handy handles that attach to a stroller. And for all those baby things that need to be kept on ice, the Pedals Lunch Tote is a great option that slips into any bigger bag.

Congrats again to our new moms!

Ready for the Biggest Travel Day of the Year?

The day before Thanksgiving is the biggest travel day of the year. Are you ready? I am, and here's why. I've got my Tuk Tuk Carryall packed with all my carry-on items: computer, book, snacks, Nap-Sac. I've got my checked bag belted and tagged, and I've even used a little Clearview Envelope to store lip gloss and other liquids that will have to go through security. And for all the Black Friday sales, I'm packing my Eco Shopper. I'm all Lugged out and ready go. Hope you are too! Happy travels and an even happier Thanksgiving to you!

Thanksgiving Travel Tips ... Be Stress Free!

Holiday travel can be stressful. Okay, sure, that could have probably gone unsaid. I mean, with tens of millions planning to hit the road next week for Thanksgiving, there's bound to be plenty of stress to go around. But I've always believed that one key to being stress free is preparation. (See that woman in the picture over there to the left? She prepared.) So, I've scoured the web to find some sites with varied travel tips: First, here are some air travel tips. And here's a whole site dedicated to traveling with kids. Here are some driving tips. And for good measure, here are some tips for those who are stressed just from the thought of holiday travel and have convinced loved ones to travel to them.

Of course, the biggest preparation tip of all is to carry smart bags and travel accessories. Pack a Puddle Jumper for an overnight trip or opt for a Shuttle Bus for the weekend. Or there's always the Tuk Tuk or the Taxi or the Moped or ... Well. You get the picture. There's a Lug bag for every possible pilgrimage, plus accessories (like a Nap Sac or a Flatbed or a Tango ...) to ease any travel stresses.

So, be prepared, and you can be just like the woman in the picture. Or at least a little more carefree.
