Travel without luggage

While I was reading about Luggage Free and Luggage Forward in NY Times today, I thought of a similar convenient service here in Taiwan - 黑貓宅急便. It all seems new but who would have thought Japan has this convenient service - Takuhaibin- that included the transportation of luggage long time ago. The point of having convenient service, domestic or international, is to have ...yes, CONVENIENCE. Taiwan's T-Cat (黑貓宅急便) has made it so by partnering with 7-Eleven. Well, you could arrange pick up at 7-Eleven since 7-Eleven is touted as the most dense network in this country.

And if all these services are reliable, transportation of bulky luggages while you travel will indeed cut down on air traffic and delays. You just have to put your luggage through a different transportation route when you travel on a plane in future. With so much air traffic restrictions, this might be a good idea. Plus, you don't have to claim your baggage at the destination airport if the luggage transportation service offers door-to-door delivery (means from your home, straight to the hotel you staying, just an example). Now, you can even think about almost any items when you travel. Golf vacation - your golf clubs and sets. Cycling - your bicycles!
