For my recent 29th birthday my Mom got me the perfect present, a generous gift certificate to REI. Now, I’m a self-admitted bag whore (the first step is admitting you have a problem), so I found it a little weird when Alexis agreed that my weekend bag was torn to shreds and I needed a new one. Her ulterior motive of course was that I had this shiny new gift certificate to pay for it.
So I wander by REI today to poke around and see if there’s anything I like. Before I even realized it, I found myself looking at garment bags. I mean, COME ON, garment bags!?! Sheesh, have I gotten that old already?!?
End result, nothing suitable (not even in the garment bags). Oh, did I mention I’m a picky bag whore?

People get pretty heated about the “garment bag” debate — my opinion is that if you pack correctly, you don’t need a garment bag, you can do with a carry-on bag (the kind with a handle and rollers).
Garment bags are wieldy and uncomfortable to travel with.
