If true then this is the worst thing New Zealand ever did to the world :-)

Nothing is more annoying than having to check in luggage. It adds at least an hour to a trip, and yet another queue to waste time in. Bags also get delayed and lost constantly.

I travel with a single (Minaal) backpack with a smaller daypack inside of it. It typically weighs 12kg:

* bags themselves: 2.1kg

* laptop, ipad, kindle, keyboard, mouse, Roost stand: 3.6kg

* cloths: 3-4kg (depends on the weather)

* misc. stuff (hard shell for glasses, wallet, keys, electric toothbrush, toothpaste, notebook, cash in various currencies, flip flops, small umbrella, various cables, etc, etc): 2.5kg

The electronics might get a bit lighter in the future, but then I might just end up buying more screen real estate.
