Travelling is one of the pleasure we surely enjoy in our life. By going to different places in the country we live or perhaps magnificently in parts the world, it will give as a satisfying joy, relief, information and family-bonding. Once we travel, we really make sure that we take along couple of things we will surely utilized and those we should never left behind. Packaging of our luggage is one of the things we should never taken for granted while planning a travel. We do all the tricks that we do to make it sure that we can easily identified what luggages and bags belongs to us. It is really better that in a certain distance we could easily see and recognized our luggages especially if it is placed along with different luggages in the cabin or if it is in the luggage carousel in the airport. For me and my family, we pack our belongings beforehand and we make sure that we have enough time to do and secure this. You don't want to travel and get out of your house without those important things you need. Since there is a possibility that our luggages will be switched or might be beside other "almost similar appearance" luggage, our family see to it that we have our bag tags along. We buy in a shopping mall a very durable bag tags. Whoever will travel in our family, we use this tag. This tag should be placed in a visible area of the luggage and should be intact at the luggage handle. We also placed packaging tapes and then resort to writing names. But, we sparingly use this method, except in boxes we carry along in travel. At one time, we have seen a good service of packing the luggages in an airport. We pay about a sum of US $5.00 in exchange of the service of wrapping our luggages together also in putting a marking sticker with our name. I do hope this will be popularized in many airports, I only have seen and experienced this service in one of the airports... And the service is that it does not only make your luggage wrap and secure, also, they will labelled it with owner's name for identification. How about you? Do you prepare your luggage ahead of time? Do you put markings on your luggages to make it easily identified? Is this part of your travel preparation regimen? And what you can say about the airport service of wrapping and labeling your luggages? Have you ever tried something similar like this in an airport? These are some of the things we can freely discuss here and exchange ideas. It is always better to keep an eye on your luggages and to make it secured and recognizable.
