I've went on two trips this year. One to Disneyland, and one to Hawaii.
Before going to
Disneyland, I purchased a new WHITE Bbag. It arrived two days before I was to head off on a 4 day road trip to LA. I posted a thread asking PFers if they would bring a white Balenciaga to Disneyland and the SD zoo,
here.
Needless to say, they scared me straight and made me realized how incredibly dumb that would have been. Come on... white?! Jees.
So okay, I brought it with me
on the trip and held it every other day I didn't go to a theme park. I'm glad it ended up being this way b/c without the bbag, I really would have suffered for four long days. I can't explain the way a bbag makes me feel (but I'm sure many here have the same affinity towards them...) - so I knew I had to have it on the nights out and the shopping (aka strutting) days.
Hawaii! Here I went thru total drug addict withdrawal. I opted for a cheap Lesportsac bag with good reason. Sun, suntan lotion, oil, sweat, and heat! It was a good idea not to take her to the beach but what about the cool nights on the strip? Mistake one. Mistake b/c on the nights out, when it wasn't piping hot - I had no fly bag to tote around.
Mistake two was when I let my mom bring her gorgy '05 Black Day. It was only a damn mistake b/c
I GREW SO JEALOUS!
Blacks or darks are an okay color to take - it can handle more than some others can.
So for yourself, going to a place with snow, I'd bring at least two dark colored bags. Preferably Days b/c they're so easy to carry.
Are you staying in a nicer hotel? If so, your bbags should be safe during the day.
Enjoy your trip!
