Have Bags Will Travel – by: D.G. Kaye – Graffiti Lux Art & More #BookReview

Published on by dgkaye

I’m delighted to share this wonderfully creative review put together by friend and blogger and costume designer, Resa McConaghy for my book – Have Bags, Will Travel.

.

She’s travelled the world and the 7 seas!

.

Written in memoir style, the author instills through her mostly hilarious adventures, how to adhere to travel restrictions.

As a pre 9/11 traveller, D.G. notes that one used to enjoy (“the thrill of the journey as much as the destination itself.”) Those golden days are long gone.

.

Times changed again, post Covid. We all know what inconveniences, feasibly horrors, can arise during travelling. Whether journeying by plane, boat or rail, one of the obvious issues is luggage.

From Toronto to Chicago to London to Las Vegas to Paris to Greece to the Caribbean to Venezuela and home again, D.G. has run the baggage gauntlet. (“Who opens a suitcase before it gets on the luggage belts and runs over it with some unknown vehicle?”)

.

Seems the only place D.G. hasn’t travelled, with suitcases and carry on, is back in time.

From the 2 books I’ve read by D.G. I know she is shopaholic, with a severe penchant for shoes. (“I carefully plot out which shoes and purses will match which clothes.” & “So what if I thought I might need to change my outfit 3 times a day?”)

I get it! I’m not wearing the same shoes I wore on the beach to the club at night.

I hope you’re enjoying this fun and creative review. Please hop over to Resa’s blog to read the conclusion.

  1. I like how you get as close as you can to the weight limit on your bags without going over. My sense is you enjoy coming in a half ounce under.

      1. Why Not? I have this cartoon image of you sitting on your bag in order to zip it shut. 😊

    I had fun making the post. I’m thrilled you enjoyed my review. I wasn’t sure at first, but it seems, in the end, it’s a shoe in! ♥
