Baby boomer travelers, I don’t know about you, but I am beginning to fumble. I’m especially aware of it when traveling through airports so I do everything possible to keep my hands free. My money and ID travel in a waist pouch that I tuck beneath the waistband of my pants. I don’t carry a purse. Ah, but I like my coffee after I’ve made it through security. I mean I REALLY like my coffee, especially on those early morning departures.
So, when the tugo folks asked me to try their luggage drink holder, I said, “yes.” The pliable cup holder attaches to rolling luggage with a simple strapping system that’s easy to use. tugo accommodates a coffee cup or small to medium drink cup and the contents do not spill out. Voila! Your hands are free, unless you purchased a muffin with that coffee. You can find tugo at Amazon.com for $9.95.
My experiment using tugo was successful. However, if you travel with two bags, with one bag resting on top of your rolling luggage, like I do, then the tugo cup holder is harder to use. But for those times when I’m traveling with just my rolling briefcase or carry-on, I’ll definitely be rolling through the airport with the tugo. And there WILL be a hot cup of coffee sitting in the holder.
