Luggage Leaves Clues

I’ve loved the saying of “Success Leaves Clues” for a long time. Here’s a new saying along that same line: “Luggage Leaves Clues.” What exactly am I talking about?

As I’m settling down to write this, I’ve just gotten into my comfy clothes…sweatpants and a t-shirt. Not just any old t-shirt, but a genuine SkyTeam t-shirt. I donned my slippers with the fancy ‘F’ on them – my comfy Fairmont slippers. I put my book to the side (I’m reading Tim Ferriss’s updated version of The 4-Hour Workweek), marking my page with my Continental boarding pass.

This got me thinking about all of the travel-related items that I carry. Someone who went wandering through my bags could tell a lot about me just by these items.a white slippers and a white towel with a few items on it

In this week’s bag I have:

  • Delta SkyTeam t-shirt that I received when my red-eye flight cancelled and I was sent to a hotel.
  • Fairmont slippers from the Fairmont Newport Beach (hint to Fairmont: I could use a new pair!)
  • Loews Conditioner bottle. The conditioner is long gone, but the bottle is perfect for refilling, totally leak-proof and great for a weeklong trip.
  • Embassy Suites rosemary-infused hand cream. Love the scent!
  • Hilton shower cap. Great for wrapping up shoes or covering my hair when I give myself a facial.
  • Marriott sewing kit. I’ve needed this a few times for hem and button repairs.
  • Continental boarding pass. Open any book I’m reading and you’ll find a boarding pass or two.

These are just the items in this week’s 4-day travel bag. I can’t begin to tell you what I have at home!

So what do these clues tell you about me?

  • I stay in nice hotels and sit in first class … all signs that I like the finer things in life (all very true, but they do not occur as often as I’d like).
  • I am feminine. I love the fresh scents of high-quality hand cream, shampoo and conditioner.
  • I’m practical. I heed my mother’s advice and I’m prepared. Sewing kits and shower caps are multi-purpose and are right up there with always having clean underwear.
  • I’m frugal. Why spend the money on a beautiful laminated bookmark when I can use a boarding pass for free?

It makes sense that we pick up items along the way that fit our lifestyles and personalities. Share with us what clues your luggage is saying!

  1. That’s great about the boarding pass as a bookmark. I do that all the time as well!
