Zuca - Luggage Bag Suitcase

Travel Gear Blog introduces us to Zuca:

One of the key features of the ZUCA bag is that you can sit on it. Is it really too much trouble to walk to an empty seat? Or did dragging your rolling bag wear you out too much? Does no else see what this is doing to humanity? With such a high rate of obesity and heart conditions in this country you would think the FDA would ban such products.

Mine’s already in the mail. And I’ll be sewing a big, fat Canadian flag on the side for my trip so locals know that I’m not that American.

It IS too much trouble to walk to an empty seat when you’re waiting for an hour in a line at a Greyhound station boarding “gate”, and if that station happens to be in downtown St. Louis, you aren’t finding an empty seat, anyway. Go, ZUCA!

But I really can’t blame you for stitching on a Canadian flag…

Yeah, but no one really rides Greyhound anymore or visits St. Louis anyway, do they? I mean, seriously …

I’m kidding of course. I’ve never visited St. Louis, but it’s on my “Round North America” travel plans.

Actually, on my trips to and from New Mexico, the buses between St. Louis and Denver were packed. One kid ended up sitting on top of a seat-back from Columbia to Kansas City. The terminals in the larger cities are always crowded, too.

I’d skip the downtown St. Louis bus station on that “Round North America” trip, if I were you.
