Do you pull a trolley case or carry a suitcase/holdall for travel? Personally, I find it effeminate to walk with a trolley case. Maybe I just don't understand the wonders of the item?

I use wheeled bags. Much easier than carrying them.

How the hell would you stay mobile with a big wheel-less trunk is beyond me.

You know I always felt the same (I take my Laptop and a host of other things including camera equipment back and forth from office to home) then I read this and wondered why the hate.

If by trolley case you mean a suitcase with wheels on it, than yes. I travel a lot for business and my back would be much worse off without it. I will say that 10 years ago when I first got one it took me a little while to stop feeling like a flight attendant at the airport, but they are standard now.

Butlers are for the home. As a true iGent, I never travel without a suitable complement of Bearers.
