I am in the process of getting a job that will require me to travel to an international location and back, spending 1 month on location and getting the next one off back home. I am predicting my travel time will be between 20 and 30 hrs, flying from Denver to the west coast, then across the pacific, then one or two flights when i arrive across the pond depending on my location.
I am seeking travel tips and advice for your favorite carry on and check luggage bags. I will be carrying an HP elite book 15in mobile workstation at about 7lbs+ with power brick, and all the normal business stuff such as pens, pencils, engineers scale, business cards, a few thumb drives in place of my external hard drive, safety glasses, note pad, head phones, etc... I will use these bags for travel, and for my field work, I am looking for something fairly bomb proof. My work is very rough on equipment.
I think that 2 bags will be best, one laptop bag that is not too large, and one carry on bag for a change of clothes, some toiletries, and other things. I should have a space to store things on location for my days off, but am not sure.
i am currently thinking about picking up a bag from http://www.redoxx.com/
also looking at http://www.timbuk2.com/tb2/ and all the normal bag companies.
What are your favorite bags and carry styles for long distance travel?
