I really should be sleeping right now, since I have to wake up 4 hours to catch a plane back to L.A. But I was so excited to pack tonight, that I decided to share my joy.
3 years ago I got a great suitcase deal from Target, 4 bags for $100. Nice and cheap. They were good suitcases, sturdy, easy to pack away and stood out from others with their bright red coloring.
But after I traveled half way around the world and back, the largest bag ripped. A minor tear, nothing big. But as the traveling continued, the rip got bigger and eventually the handle stopped functioning. Finally, it came to the point where I couldn't bear the thought of traveling with it.

Two weeks ago, while helping my friend was scope around Marshalls for a new suitcase, I found IT. The Bag. The Ultimate traveling suitcase - for women. I scare myself as I write that because I don't like buying girl things because I'm a girl. I'm a picky shopper and I buy stuff only because I like it and not because some rich person out there decided it was made for me. Nope, I don't do that. What convinced me to buy The Bag was it's pink interior. As soon as I saw that BRIGHT pink lining, I had made up my mind. Only later did I notice all the pockets, zippers and trinkets that make it so much more girly. aaahhhh!!! I hate the idea of a woman's bag, but I really...like...this bag.

And that is why I was so excited to pack.
Maybe tomorrow I'll write about spring time in Georgia or Georgian mucky muck rain.

why are you in georgia? and you should get leather luggage from goodwill, they have the best 1950's stuff ever!
Nice suitcase.
Why did I buy a black one? Doesn't make much sense in retrospect...

You like it despite how much you try . . .b/c you're still a girl. No matter what type of guy a man is, he'll still like beer, cars, and other man things . . .
Girls are the same. Put something perty and pink, with frills and kitties . . they'll all buy it subconsciously
you just proceeded to name the various things I abhor. Except for kitties.
It is a nice suitcase though I concur with the anon, Goodwill is the way to go.
Enjoy the avocado you lucky duck.
:)
Anon - I'm a preschool teacher in Atlanta. When the other suitcase falls apart, I'll check out goodwill. Thanks!
Mottel/Sarabonne - Ew kitties!
