Abstract
Luggage for carrying clothing, accessories and the like when traveling includes an adjustable packing board having first and second panels that are joined together between first and second luggage attachment ends. A pair of drawstrings are fixed at bottom ends to opposite ends of a luggage bottom and slidably connected to the attachment ends of the panels. The drawstrings can be loosened and tightened to move the packing board away from and toward the luggage bottom. The first and second panels can be separated and swung away from each other. These features allow the packing board to be moved out of the way when packing and unpacking the luggage. The packing board may also include detachable and fixed zippered compartments for containing travel items.
