If you're like me--lazy and it takes weeks to unpack and clean your clothes, even though your trip itself was only 3 days, then you'll love what Flylite has to offer. Better yet, if you are a frequent business traveler, this will take all of the stress of planning, packing, unpacking and cleaning your clothes, so you can focus on the important details of you business trip: the business.

Flylite basically acts as your personal travel assistant. Here's how it works. They clean, steam and store your clothes, including polishing your shoes, before scanning and storing all of your items into a virtual i-Closet. Each trip, you can virtually pack your suitcase by dragging and dropping clothing icons after which Flylite delivers the bags to any US destination. After each stay, Flylite picks up the bags, cleans the clothes and stores everything for the next trip.

Look for i-Closets in London and Dubai in the next year. It will soon start selling shoes and shirts to clients too busy to go shopping. These new clothes will simply show up in their suitcase on the next trip.

So whether you're a road warrior or just lazy like me--time is a luxury; I'm glad there are companies out there that can appreciate that and help us all out.
