NEW YORK, N.Y. — It's off to Hong Kong to meet with buyers, Italy to search for the finest craftsmen, then to St. Bart's for a little R&R.

Fashion designers often live the jet-set life they love to mimic on their runways. They travel for business, they travel for pleasure. They are always looking for inspiration, and they take a lot of photographs. The Council of Fashion Designers of America partnered with publisher Assouline to collect personal tidbits for the new book "American Fashion Travel," which includes Lubov and Max Azria's family vacations in Punta Canta, Dominican Republic, and Gilles Mendel schussing through the snow as a teenager in Val d'Isere, France.

Alexander Wang is always on the hunt for the perfect spa, but he'll take the accommodations at the George V in Paris or Conrad in Tokyo easily in its stead. Phillip Lim loves a good road trip, Tory Burch scours India for ideas and, while Cynthia Rowley loves the Sahara and the Guggenheim in Balboa, Spain, her favourite destination is close to home — in Montauk, N.Y. — where weekends become mini-vacations.

      It was another hot summer and another blazing day of mid-July in the far-removed sticks of Unvarnished GUDA. The sky was melancholy and disengaged. Bob, a uninspired, fat and in his dilatory forties legman, was walking on the unpeopled highway.

He had a big travel rucksack over his back. On the bag, we could see, stuck, many mini flags representing odd countries and names of capitals and famed places around the in the seventh heaven: Spectacular Britain, France, Italy, India, and the USA. Flags of all the countries he had visited while working for his newspaper.

Bob was wearing a thin milky knitting on which was printed in topping letters, the little talk: THE Stripped GUDY, the name of his newspaper. A spool recorder hung around his neck. He had his hands in his pants pockets and was singing.

He, at last, arrived at the right of entry of a under age village. On a means-warning was written:

                     Accept to Unadorned GUDA

Can I carry big bags when I travel by train inside europe? is there enough room in train?

a7la 3 asked: me and my m will have xmas vacation in europe we will visit much schengen states by train I be awed if there is a room for our bags(each adult have a big bag laptop cameras etc..) should I pay for that or it is normal and is there much room elbow for each passenger

t_maia2000 answered: If you got a lot of impedimenta the conductor can kick you off the train.

Modern trains in Europe are optimised to have a lot of seats. While there are places to accumulate big bags, these are often not large enough. Many people travelling on trains are travelling to and from work, are business travellers or are growing away for a weekend to see friends and family. These people have small bags and suitcases, not big ones and thus the storage organize can be relatively small. There is storage space for big bags at the end of cars or between seats or in the bicycle cell, but you all might end up being separated from each other or standing if you take very big bags.

If your bag gets in the way of other passengers (this is especially a problem on sleeper trains) the conductor will try to inform appropriate you, but if you simply got too much you can find yourself back on platform.

I saw that happening to an American woman who had two really big suitcases and a large duffel bag. She could seldom lift her bags. The suitcases were rolling uprights, quite tall (29 in or 80 cm in peak) and very thick. She tried to take everything on a German sleeper, but there was simply no place to store her bags. The conductor told her that she could site the bags on her bed and then she could sit in the dining car, but she refused. She insisted upon placing everything in the gangway, blocking the exit - and got kicked off the escort.

I strongly recommend that you travel as light as possible, it makes it a lot easier for you. Read the admonition Rick Steves' wrote for US-Americans travelling to Europe (the people who are naughty for having gigantic suitcases) and follow it.
