Types of Luggage 

Driver: Ma’am, where would you like these suitcases? 

Leona: The three wheeled suitcases should go next to the bed, and the garment bag should be hung up in the closet. Where is my expandable bag? 

Driver: Do you mean this duffel bag? 

Leona: Yes. You can leave that right there. Hmm, where is my carry-on? All I see is my checked baggage. I thought I gave you my carry-on, too. 

Driver: You did, ma’am, and it’s right here. 

Leona: Oh, good. When can I expect my trunk to arrive? 

Driver: Your trunk? You had a trunk? 

Leona: Yes, I had a trunk. Didn’t you see it at the airport? 

Driver: Uh no, I must have overlooked¹ it. 

Leona: You mean you left behind my trunk?! Who knows what has become of it by now! 

Driver: I’m sure I’ll be able to find it and deliver it here to you. 

Leona: I knew I should have used a luggage forwarding service. 

Driver: You might consider traveling light next time, ma’am. 

Leona: What did you say?! 

Driver: Nothing! I’m going to fetch your trunk as we speak. 

Leona: I should hope so!
