Product Roll Out

How many times have you heard the expression "be there or be square?" Well, now you never have to worry about arriving square. It looks like designer Roov Mousavi has reinvented the wheel. 

Samsonite has developed what they call the OBAG, which as you can see is a round piece of luggage. This probably is not the best luggage to carry your clothes in (my guess is the inside of your bag would look something like the inside of your dryer.) I think they are marketing this as a carry on bag or a "roll on" bag if you will. However, I will not be surprised if eventually Samsonite rolls out an entire OBAG luggage line. 

Aside from the fact that the OBAG design is one Swarovski crystal short of being fasionable, I am sure something like this could be very useful. All you field salesmen and women, art students, photographers, and makeup artists are probably thinking...where can I buy one of those?! The rugged exterior and round, wheel design allows you to easily drag this "roll on" through snow, dirt, cobblestone...whatever elements you are challenged with.

Handy Gadget or Another Way to Embarrass your Travel Companions??

Every Christmas my dad prides himself in coming up with the most unique stocking stuffers for my brother and I. I admit that he usually finds unique gifts that are very appropriate for the receiver.

Somewhere my dad had found this gadget called Luggage Locator. For complete details watch the YouTube video linked to Luggage Locator...its actually pretty funny. Here is what it says on the back of the box:

* Easily locate your luggage up to 60 feet away with a series of beeps and flashes set off by a remote small enough to fit in your pocket

* A radio frequency signal seeks out the receiver attached to your luggage so you can rest easy knowing your luggage arrived at its destination long before you even see it

Do I really want to be the person who claims the loudly beeping and convulsively flashing bag? Probably not but honestly I have been in a couple situations where something like this would have come in handy so it may be worth while to slap one of your luggage just in case. I tested it out in my house....it beeps loudly and as obnoxiously as possible! I am looking forward to seeing the looks on my fellow passengers faces when they see AND hear my luggage passing by on the carousel.
