New Luggage

Apparently, to be considered a "true" traveler, you must own  Briggs and Riley Luggage.  Or so the salesman at Luggage 4 Less tells me.  I am still apprehensive (the luggage is NOT cheap) but there are several other customers in the store and they are purchasing Briggs and Riley.  Upon questioning, they confirm the salesman's accolades.  Not only are the pieces sturdy but Briggs and Riley offer an unprecedented lifetime warranty that includes airline damage.  For $15 shipping, they repair or replace your bag, no questions asked, in about two to three weeks.   You don't even have to register or have your original receipt.  Seems too good to be true.  I checked out their website  as soon as I got home and there it was in black and white:

"If your Briggs & Riley bag is ever broken or damaged, even if it was caused by an airline, we will repair it free of charge. Simple as that!"

The features that I liked, besides the unbelievable warranty, were the exterior  handle (leaving more room inside) and the magnetized luggage tag.   By now most of you know how I feel about the importance of luggage tags.

So I am now the proud owner of a new 21"carry on upright Briggs and Riley Transcend bag.  Now I just need a reason to pack it.
