Nice place, no substitute for a boat or a camper however. One of the
attractions of cruising on a boat (or a camper) is that you are
carrying all of your things around with you, ready to use wherever you
happen to arrive - no packing or unpacking. Another attraction is the
mobility aspect where you can take your vacation home wherever you
want, and any time you want.


I pack in pretty easy, one big duffle bag and my computer case


And that covers all your wife's stuff also?

I'd love it.


My wife carries a big roller, a small roller and a shoulder bag.

This is me rolling. It is a pretty nice bag. You can load your
"quick" stuff in the top section, other stuff in the bottom. It
clamshells open with a zipper inside so you can get to the top stuff
with it open and there are also pockets on both ends. It has wheels
and a pull out handle or sewn handles on 3 sides plus the strap over
the top. There are also shoulder straps if you want to wear it as a
pack and the pull out works as a pack frame.
It was a gift from my FIL.

Nice bag. My wife could probably get almost a third of her stuff in
it (not counting gifts for everyone along the route). :-)

Amen. Plus, there has to be room to bring home even more stuff. Last trip to Holland we had over 10
kilos of Gouda cheese in the bags!

Mine has a big roller bag and a shoulder bag when we go on vacation
trips, but has a second roller bag for her professional suits, shoes and
suchlike if she is going to an out of town business meeting where she is
a presenter.

You can purchase Gouda in the USA.

Not from the local Gouda farmer. My friends live six kilometers from Gouda. Plus, I can get it aged
as I like.
