We have it pretty easy this time as we're only going to be away for around 9 days. Usually when we pack, we have to be very selective. We go away to some far corner of the globe for four or five months every winter.
Comparatively, this little upcoming cruise from Barcelona will be a breeze. In fact, we've decided to take a single suitcase and share the space. Yet, we'll each have our own backpacks as carry-ons.
Today, we rolled out my trusty old friend. This is a photo of the best suitcase I ever owned because of its durability and security. It seals shut and snaps tightly closed. I have little faith in modern luggage with a mere zipper holding it all together.
After many years, this piece still has all of its wheels. I remember buying it prior to COVID in Kuala Lumpur. We never let the pandemic prevent us from going away, so it has been through at least six winters. For the last one alone, it was in and between five different countries. I admit the old gal is starting to look a bit sketchy but I like its secure latches, I hope it keeps on going forward for the foreseeable future.
