Happier Travels To You

Schlepping overstuffed suitcases as sweat stains threaten the freshness of your fabulous, if impractical, day-one honeymoon ensemble, or worse – stewing in yesterday’s travel clothing while awaiting your bag that errantly made a detour to Yemen - is hardly a romantic way to spend your first hours as newlyweds.  Instead, enlist a luggage forwarding service, and enjoy the worry-free honeymoon travel that comes with knowing your bags await upon your arrival.  Whether its skis, a set of golf clubs, or shoes – lots and lots of shoes - they’ll collect it all from your home while you jet off to your honeymoon or wedding destination, and voila, your luggage is waiting for you in your room.  And there you’ll relax with a tasty beverage in hand, smirking slightly as you think of those fellow honeymooners still stuck at baggage claim – wishing they were as savvy as you. 

It’s easier than you think. Simply schedule your desired pick up, destination location, and travel time with a luggage forwarding service, and they’ll handle the rest.  Sure, such convenience doesn’t come cheap.  You can expect to pay about $100 per bag on average, and prices vary depending on where you are going, weight and number of bags, and how quickly you want them to get there.

But if you’re planning a trip that cannot go wrong – and we think a honeymoon falls into this category - you may want to seriously consider this dreamy excuse to pack heavy and travel light.
