Hi Anna,

I have tried walking with a roller bag in my left hand, a purse on my shoulder and a cane in my right hand. I try to move the cane under my left arm to open doors. Not great. I'm always better off when someone offers to open the door. Good luck.

Diane

Subject: [VICUG-L] Rolling Duffle

Hi All,


I don't think of this as off topic exactly, but others may disagree.


I work in one building about 75% of the time. The equipment I use regularly includes my work laptop, my braille note taker, and a bunch of small bits and pieces, like headsets, microphones, various cables, a speaker, etc. I keep all of the small bits and pieces in a medium sized duffel bag. When I have to report to a different location, I take this duffel bag; I also take a shopping bag with the laptop and its own accessories; and I take a drawstring backpack for my lunch and more personal odds and ends. This is a lot to carry, and it's heavy and bulky.


I've been thinking about getting a large-ish duffel bag with wheels. I could probably fit all my stuff in it, and I wouldn't have to carry anything.


My concern is that it would be hard to maneuver in general and that towing it would tie up my free hand (i.e., the hand that isn't holding the white cane), thus creating little complications, like opening and closing doors.


Has anyone here experimented with carrying stuff in a rolling bag? If yes, how did it work?


Thanks.


Ciao
