The word actually evolved from the word "lug" as in something that is carried or dragged about, denoting something larger in character used to carry articles of clothing and when an individual is traveling.

Luggage can be described as a single article or container to carry a traveler's belongings as well as a set of and bags belonging to one person. It can also refer to the of bags and suitcases carried by a group of passengers such as those on a plane or using another form of transportation. Regardless of the usage, luggage has been around for a long time and has changed in many ways over the years.

Trunks were typically made of wood or metal.

The passenger his or herself would not normally be responsible for the transport or placement of their trunk or chest, as many passengers are today. Rather the responsibility of handling the luggage would fall to a porter or other person designated as a luggage handler on a given trip. This falls back on the etymology of the word itself.

Surely, a well-to-do passenger would not be responsible for such strenuous activity on their own.

Passengers who traveled in this time period and were able to afford the type of luggage and assistance referenced above, also would have booked their trip in a certain way. Most passengers would have book their ship passage Port out and Starboard home. The reason for this particular combination is that at this time it was fashionable to remain pale in skin tone as such a skin tone indicated aristocracy.

This is simply not true. Those who are , condos, or other are eligible for renter's insurance, and having this type of insurance is a very good idea for many people.

As you might imagine, renter's insurance does not cover the actual structure of the building. The owner of the structure will have his or her own policy for that coverage. In some cases, they may also have some type of insurance that would cover your losses under certain events, but renters should not depend on that. It is far better to have your own coverage on your personal items. This way you know for sure that you are covered in the event something happens to the dwelling.

It should be noted that renter's insurance does not cover injuries that should happen on the property. Again, the property owner should have that on his or her policy.

What it does cover, however, are those personal items that belong to you. This might include furniture, stereos, electronic equipment, desktop or , clothing, artwork and other belongings. Should you lose your belongs by either fire, , or theft you can get them replaced under your renter's insurance policy.

As you might imagine, with so many people now owning things like computers and , it does not take many items lost to add up to a significant amount of money that would be needed in order to replace these items. Renter's insurance is very affordable and one of the best ways to decide if it is a good idea for you or not is to take a walk through your home and tally up the cost of your belongings if they were destroyed by fire or flood. You may be surprised at how much you actually own.

Insurance rates for your belongings will vary from company to company so it is a good idea to shop around for the best deals. On average, most people can purchase good quality renter's insurance for about $200 per year.

Once you purchase a policy it is important that you keep an updated list of your personal items. This means adding to the list when you buy something new, and letting the insurance company know about it, as well as deleting items from the list should you no longer possess the item. Again, you need to keep the insurance company updated on that as well.

When you purchase something, keep your receipts. Receipts and other documentation such as credit card billings that state what an item is and how much it cost should not be kept on the premises. If those documents burn up or are otherwise destroyed you will have to track down copies and that can increase the length of time before settlement significantly.

Lastly, if you move to another dwelling, you want to make sure that you notify the insurer as soon as possible. In some cases, moving from a high crime area to a low crime can actually save you money on your premiums.

When dealing with your mail, you should either remove it from your home or place it where it cannot be found. If prospective homebuyers spot collection notices or excessive in plain sight, they might immediately assume that you are in debt and need to sell your home quickly. Furthermore, as no one wants strangers to read any of their , you should try to conceal all of your mail -- down to the last .

2. Take down photos and diplomas

While some home sellers feel that such could add an atmosphere of coziness to their property, you may want to consider clearing the walls. Following this simple step could help prevent any type of bias from prospective homebuyers. For instance, home sellers with recent diplomas might be perceived as deep in debt and willing to sell at any price. Likewise, can reveal the homeowner's religion, which could influence certain buyers.

3. Clean the closets and drawers

If you have ever been to an open house or toured a home for sale, you can probably understand the desire to dig around. In most cases, prospective homebuyers simply open to inspect the space or make judgments about the construction of the home. While most people who view your home will not try to snoop in your personal belongings, try to pack away anything that could tell an unwanted story about your life.

You may want to clear out all drawers and closets entirely before the home is shown to buyers. After your personal belongings have been removed from the home or carefully packed away, work with your agent to stage closets and large cabinets. By replacing your own belongings with examples of how the home can be utilized, you will take the focus off yourself and help prospective buyers visualize themselves in your home.

4. Turn down the answering machine

This final step is probably the most overlooked by home sellers. Just as you can not anticipate what arrives in the mail each day, you cannot predict when you might receive an unwanted phone call. If you are engaged in an open house or private viewing, you certainly don't want a prospective buyer to overhear a message from a collection agency or credit card company. Furthermore, as you are in the process of selling a home (and possibly buying another), you don't want buyers to know anything about your personal business. Hence, before any prospective buyers enter your home, you may want to mute your answering machine to prevent any uncomfortable exchanges.

In conclusion, when you are ready to show your home to prospective buyers, try to remove anything that might drive a buyer away or create an unwanted bias. Whether it's as simple as removing your personal mail or staging the closets of your home's bedrooms, a bit of work can not only protect your privacy but can potentially help sell your home.Greg Gagnon writes select articles about important topics related to real estate for the Coldwell Banker Corporation.

Movers are pretty good about moving your belongings to your new home. However, there are some things you need to know before you start scrambling for the boxes and tape. Those things are what they won't move. Those things are:

• Pets -- If you have pets, you need to make arrangements to move them. Hopefully you're not taping them up in boxes for the movers to move them. However, it is a federal regulation that prohibits them from being able to transport animals in their vans. That is why you must place your pet in a cage or carrier in your car and move your pet yourself.

• Plants -- Not moving live plants is another thing that is federally regulated. There is an exception, though. That exception is if your destination is within 150 miles. If so, they can move them. Then again, you have to check with the movers and their individual policies.

• Flammable items -- Moving companies cannot move anything flammable or combustible. That means you have to ensure that oil and gasoline are removed from lawn mowers, , and other power equipment. They also cannot transport any type of fuel such as , tiki torch oil, or .

• -- If you have pesticides or other items that can be considered hazardous, they are not able to move that either. Fertilizers and the such must not be placed within a . This includes anything that is toxic. You must find another way to transport these items.

Things to note

Also make a note that transporting personal items should be done by you. This is in references to essentials such as a change of clothes, medications, and toiletries if your move is a long one. You also want to keep your valuables such as jewelry and family heirlooms with you. That way you know that they are safe by being able to keep track of them at all times.

You also need to read the small print in the agreement that is given to you by the moving company. Make sure you read everything that is given to you so that you know the restrictions and can accommodate those restrictions before moving day. That way you are prepared and you're not running around looking for a solution that is probably packed away in an unknown box in the back of the moving truck.Canada's residential, commercial movers.
