A few days ago I informed my readers that my wife and I stayed in Las Vegas last week . What I failed to mention is my wife's penchant for traveling with lots of suitcases; OK, maybe not 42 pieces of luggage, but at least 3 or more. Me, I need only a backpack if I'm going anywhere for less than a week.

No matter where we travel, my wife makes sure that at least one suitcase going there is completely empty so that on the return trip she has space to store all the nick-nackery, gimcracks, baubles, trinkets and other useless souvenirs she will buy. On our first day in Sin City my wife dragged me to the Fashion Mall not far from our hotel suite at Caesars.

I couldn't believe it - the first kiosk we came to was peddling not only something completely useless but it served as another piece of luggage as well: the bra travel kit - see photo above.

Now why would anyone need to take more than a few bras on a short vacation? And even if there were some legal or moral imperative requiring one to travel with more than a few bras, why would one need another piece of luggage just to store them? Next thing I know my wife will have me lugging panty-travel-kits and sock-travel-kits and who-knows-what-travel-kits because I'm the pack-mule when we go on any trip.

Ah, women and travel.
