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.
In celebration of My Itchy Travel Feet’s one-year-anniversary, I’m giving away a tugo luggage drink holder. To enter, post a comment telling me what type of drink you’d be placing in the tugo. Please include your email for contact purposes. You might be the lucky one to win the tugo luggage drink holder. Contest ends on Tuesday, May 26, 2009 at 11:00 p.m. Arizona Mountain Standard Time. Winner will be announced on Wednesday, May 27, 2009. Please see general contest rules.
UPDATE: May 27, 2009. This contest has expired. As soon as the winner acknowledges receipt of my email, I’ll make the announcement.

The luggage drink holder looks great. If you have this stuff you don't need to hold your luggage and coffee at the same time. Very convenient!

No, it doesn’t leak. Here are a few more pictures.
As you can see, it stays more upright.
