Travelling with children & some innovative luggage

Having completed a little poll amongst my friends and colleagues 

Kids + Travel + Luggage = Stress ! ??

Travelling with children is not easy as you need to have toys and games to keep them amused, food incase they get hungry, DVD's, spare batteries for their games, nappies, favourite toy tissues, perhaps some medication, colouring pencils, etc.,.... and that is just the start.

Hand luggage for us adults is hard enough to pack with our own need for kindles, make up, wallet, passport, mobile phone + charger, sweeties, laptops, magazines, newspapers, etc as as well as any clothes that I need.

Imagine my delight when visiting one of the luggage trade shows, and I found the perfect case which has been brought out for children initially - but do not worry, the good news is, that there is an adults version on the way too (just without the cartoons, but I wonder if they will provide us with the word seaches, etc).......


The case is 
cabin sized (fitting most major airlines)
has wheels
a telescopic handle
is very light
and has its own "play centre" which is ........................ educational too !! (read on, read on...... )

Basically this case has a removable play centre section on the front which means you can pack the rest of the cabin sized case to the limit - and shut it till you reach the destination.  

The removable play centre section 'pops' off, and opens to 90 degrees. So it looks like a little desk. Inside the desk you can fill it with your own games, sweets, books, etc - but as part of the package every case is supported by a whole range of quizes, word searches,  colouring sheets, and games which can be downloaded before your trip. 

 
What a fantastic invention which means kids are happy, mum and dads are happy, 

Happy Kids + Happy Mums and Dad = No Stress (or at least reduced stress anyway)

What would you take into space in your luggage?

A team led by millionaire and former space tourist Dennis Tito plans to send a "tested couple" to Mars and back in a privately funded mission.

The Inspiration Mars Foundation plans to start its one-and-a-half-year mission in January 2018.

Conditions will be a little tight and the report suggests that 1,360kg of dehydrated food will be enough to last the journey and the manifest includes 28kg of toilet paper for a crew of 2 for 500 days.

Would you take a Silver Antler Case?

Or would you take something a little tongue in cheek?

 Would you take a This is my suitcase?

Or would you take your washing machine with you?


So, if you got the chance to travel into space and you could take a cabin sized case.... what would you take in your luggage?
