Another crazy sewing project - Giant carrier

When I stay in Travelodge or Premier Inn hotels I find there is not enough table space or chairs when John is with me (and believe me the less we are on top of each other the less we argue).  So, I wanted to take a couple of my camping items - fold-up director's chair, small fold up table for eating and computer and white tray with base for for breakfast food items.  

I had a great cheap but strong wheely from Ikea (I bought for moving biggish loads - wasn't sure what but it looked useful).  I made the bag section big enough to take my air conditioner should I ever end up in hotel in summer with no A/C.  I was meant to avoid stares at bringing in furniture past the reception desk but I think I've failed on that point.   

I was hoping to fit in my electric cooler box but though it fits, it just makes the whole thing look too big so that will go in separate plastic wheel box that fits it perfectly (not sure i will take it as depends on weather - i have small normal cool box for a couple of drink cans which may be enough this time as it's mainly for breakfast milk/butter, juice and cold drinks - I prefer to keep my money/stomache space for nice lunches and dinners in seaside restaurants and just have a light breakfast - I don't like the hotel breakfasts - £8 for too much food and I'm not paying that for a coffee and toast.) 



It looks crazy but I had the plastic coated fabric tablecloth material I'd bought from John Lewis about 6 years ago and wanted to use it.  I may eventually make a black one if I find it works ok.
