Go!

With holiday travel just around the corner, it felt like a good time to upgrade my luggage.

For the lion's share of trips, I rely only a backpack. Easier to navigate airport security. No waiting at crowded carousels. No muss. No fuss. 

But every once in awhile, I need a smidge more space. For years I stuck to basic black when it came to luggage. Occasionally I would attach a colorful piece of fabric to differentiate my bag from its sea of compatriots. But most of the time, I was still left squinting. 

This month marks a new era for me. Sure, my luggage is still a solid color. But it's bright, and more importantly, easily recognizable. That's right, orange is the new black!
