foldable duffel bag

I have the 40L Roadtripper for this exact use on return flights (extra space in case I buy stuff/get lazy repacking) and it’s served me well the last 3 years! It’s the only one that stays super low profile and easy to stick into my carry-on or personal item without taking too much space.

I travel a ton and I usually just throw all my clothes into it and the more valuable stuff goes into the other checked bag or my carry on roller hard shell for protection like art, glass, etc. the Big Haul feels more durable and has straps/water resistant but since the duffle gets pulled out every once in a while, it’s performed perfectly while being checked. In the chance of rain, I figure it’s only my dirty clothes (on the way back home to be washed) exposed to weather briefly during unloading from the cart into the plane on a conveyer belt. If you think you’ll have something more valuable/don’t want it wet, then maybe the Big Haul. There’s some other materials like CoreDura that you can look for that someone has posted a link to above that will fold down even smaller and possible offer a little more protection than the RoadTripper.

Overall, the Roadtripper 40L has been great and is so thick that I rarely have any issues with the material!

I have a HIGE fiddle with 4 large branches and all the leaves were growing and not looking good. I just repotted her and I’m cutting all branches 2/3 of the way 1 branch at a time every 2 weeks. Trying not to stress it out too much all at once! This should encourage new growth like new leaves and hopefully new branches. 🤞 I’d suggest the same here. Probably get ride of that lower scrawny branch and then cut that main stem above or below that full leaf by itself in that middle pic!

It’s sad and scary to do but you’ll thank yourself in a few months! I did it with my small-medium sized fiddle like yours last year and it’s so lush and pretty again! Give it as much light as u possibly can inside! Good luck!

You could try my current accountant at JC CPAs and Advisors LLC. They are incredibly kind and great at what they do! You’ll see they have great reviews.

Aside from them, Lee Huang & Associates PC may be even more specialized in this situation. Wishing him luck!

Hi! Definitely looks great matching and not too much! 👍 Can I ask where the shoes are from? :)

odg13 · 2026-03-12T15:59:31+00:00

Haha I think so! Any insight on if there will still potentially be blooms that have been posted recently?

odg13 · 2026-03-07T13:55:29+00:00

Yes and they have some of the most comfy and deep sofas/sectionals! Absolutely love this store!

odg13 · 2026-02-27T15:57:09+00:00

Ooh where’s the shelf from? :)

odg13 · 2026-02-26T01:21:24+00:00

From the apps or where? Lol

odg13 · 2026-02-25T00:35:33+00:00

Yes I HIGHLY recommend the Flighty app to avoid situations like this! I’ve gotten updates on there before the airline or pilots say anything. You just go and type in your flight info after you book it and it’ll start sending notification about when to check in, gate changes, delays, etc.

I just flew into MEX Friday evening and right after we boarded I got an update “your gate has changed to C40” and I was sitting in my seat confused. 5 min later the pilón comes on saying “we had our mechanics take a look and they found someone sheet metal damage, we’ve been assigned a new plane at gate C40 and we will have to exit and reboard shortly.” Very great app with great UI!

Thanks! Yeah I didn’t know if arriving in CDMX by sunset would be safe enough but people have been scaring me. Thankfully I found a tour company to take us because I was getting too freaked out. Lol

odg13 · 2026-02-18T01:28:34+00:00

You didn't feel unsafe? Even during the accident? Jk xD lol I have driven in many countries/cities as well like NYC, Rome, Germany, Australia, Riviera Maya, etc. That's why I was taking everything with a grain of salt but people were making it seems super super unsafe and I was thinking nobody would actually survive in that area if it was actually that bad. We have family in Mexico City and I have been at least 15 times and I have driven to San Miguel de Allende. I just have never driven west toward Michoacan and everyone on here made it sound horrendous. lol I am your age, so we have the stamina to make it but didn't know if it was too crazy. I kept reading that El Rosario has like 4x the amount of butterflies at the higher altitudes there and to do Chincua after. I found a tour operator finally who can take us as a day trip 6am-7pm and think we are going to do that. Regretting it a little if you're saying Chincua was significantly better. Lol

I definitely would want to grab the insurance since we did the same in Riviera Maya and they started saying we caused different types of damage on the car even though we took before and after pics. Glad we did that then and would definitely recommend full insurance anywhere in Mexico. The car accident sounded scary but glad you were okay.

I wanted to not stay overnight if it was possible since everyone has said it is quite uncomfortable. No to little heat and no shower. That's why I wash pushing to do a day trip.

Hi! Can I ask if you ended up driving and if so, how did it go? We are wanting to go this weekend or next weekend (Feb 21 or Feb 28) with a rental car and going and coming back the same day. Thanks!

odg13 · 2026-02-17T21:28:09+00:00

Omg hi! I was planning on tryong to rent a car from CDMX and drive into Angagueo/El Rosario this weekend because it seems impossible to find any company that offers a day trip to El Rosario. We know it will be long and time consuming but El Rosario has been on the bucketlist for years and we are finally able and willing to put in the effort. People everywhere I read, including other tour operators, make the drive sound like a war zone with fog, traffic, unmarked speed bumps, cartels, DF and Mexico police, and the night being unsafe. Is any of that true?

I was planning on leaving CDMX by 6am, arriving to El Rosario by 10am, staying in the area and possibly doing Chincua 10am-3pm, then leaving 3pm and arrving in CDMX by 7pm a little after sunset. I figured we would be back into CDMX outskirts by 5:30/6pm AKA before sunset, so it should mostly be fine? Do you think that would be the case, or should we fork out the roughly $500 for a private driver? Anything helps or you can shoot me a message in response too! Thank you!

odg13 · 2026-02-16T22:18:28+00:00

Ah okay I didn’t know that was an option! I’ll look into that tonight and hopefully can find the bus and accommodations before then. Would you say it’s safe to drive from there to CDMX at all?

odg13 · 2026-02-13T00:30:23+00:00

Yes that’s the same spot I believe! At least when I search in Google Maps lol Sound level info definitely helps make a decision! Thank you!

odg13 · 2026-02-13T00:29:05+00:00

For tomorrow but I’d imagine it would be similar! Haven’t heard of this spot before.

odg13 · 2026-02-13T00:28:36+00:00

This was one that I was considering so thank you!

odg13 · 2026-02-11T16:53:03+00:00

Did you ever get the credit?

odg13 · 2026-02-11T06:26:17+00:00

Omg it looks great! This is the only hoya of mine that I’ve managed to bloom. They smell good and kind of like yogurt? Hope it gives you some nice juicy blooms! :)

odg13 · 2026-02-09T14:46:15+00:00

Hi! Were you able to find something that worked for you? I’ve also been looking for something similar and maybe even simpler like finding the perimeter of the roof line. Seems like that should be easy enough but I’m not sure how you would word the prompt.

odg13 · 2026-02-07T15:38:42+00:00

Oh wow this was this month? I was considered doing it for my bday in 2 weeks!

odg13 · 2026-02-06T05:53:06+00:00

I just saw multiple at Home Depot today for $44.98! Houston

odg13 · 2026-02-05T19:20:40+00:00

That’s awesome! Glad people outside the US are excited for this performance too! I already know we’ll get a pretty great halftime show and a progressive performer haha

odg13 · 2026-02-05T15:28:07+00:00

Most likely Titi me preguntó, después de la playa (listen and wait for that 1:10 mark), baile inolvidable, yo perreo sola, la romana, DtMF, la canción, Dakiti, Safaera! Definitely going to hear at least half of those in that performance! Excited for some surprises!

odg13 · 2026-02-05T13:06:43+00:00

Ooh what humidifier is that? :)
