You know who you are. When you travel, do you bring a pile of luggage that would make Joan Collins blush?  Perhaps you fret about surviving without a full closet, so you fit as much as possible into a mammoth case.   Soon you’re suffering from sore arms and an aching back, swearing next time will [...]

New York City and the Movies
