Anyone who has done any travelling at all knows how great it is to have luggage with wheels. Without it I would have had many many troubles on some of my trips – particularly my IronMan trip tp Hawaii where I had two cases both weighing 30 KG. Anyway, according to a blog<\/a>, LiveLuggeage.Com<\/a> have just released a motorized bag.

I tend to find interesting places like this when I go away. Anyway, it was an interesting place. I would love to go back – and they had interesting exhibits. <\/p>\n
