Just returned from the Mecca of SCs and Jerks in General (Sorry, uber long!)

[Primer]

The only luggage I have at the moment is a set of khaki-colored that I got online about 10 years ago. However, over the years the cats have "claimed" it as their own. IF I were to use it, and IF somebody else were to grab it, they would quickly regret it, especially if it were a warm day.

I think I'll get some new luggage if I ever need any.

I solve the baggage problem by having purple luggage, I got the fiance some nice green luggage. Makes life easy at the belt.

My luggage is a nice bright, light turquoise color. Made it really easy when we went to the UK last year. But I also think that's why I wound up with a "love note" from the TSA when we got home!

Did you order it from GK?

Bugger, you beat me to it!

Unfortunately our bags blend in with a lot of other bags. Fortunately, when we went to Jamaica over the summer, the nephews (preteens) were so enthralled with the carousel that they vultured where it can into the terminal so that our bags didn't even make it through the flaps before getting pulled off. Although one of us adults did have to stay with them to put the occasional "not ours" back onto the belt. In their defense, the one or two they misgrabbed was the exact same type as ours.

I got this Samsonite before we went to Australia. I got a big discount on it, we got it at one of their outlet stores for just $75 because there was a small rip, about 4 inches, in the outer fabric. I've noticed since, that most people have dark colored bags, like black or dark blue, so being red helps it stand out from everyone elses.

I inheirited my bags (one of which has since been stolen by an ex-boyfriend's mother...) from my aunt. Orange pleather, faded from what was probably a nice brown. No one takes the one I have left at the carousel.

My mom and I went to Florida about 6 years ago, and she bought 2 sets of luggage, a bag meant to fit in (most) airplane overhead bins, with a matching messenger-type bag that has a strap so you can slip it over the pull handle when you're walking. They were both black, so she took yarn, made braided ropes out of it, and tied it to the handles of each bag (one set in red, the other in purple). Not only can we easily find them should we have to check them (we didn't, but you never know), but we can tell which set belongs to which person without opening them up.

Oh, and I have never been to Disney, despite the fact that my father insists I have. They took my brother when he was about 2. My brother is 2 1/2 years older than me. You do the math. I was either an infant or in utero. Neither counts in my book. The sad part is that one of my college friends worked for Disney for 3 years (first in one of the hotels, then as a character) and could have gotten me in for free. I never got a chance to get down there.

I've never been off this continent

Seriously--my brother got to go to the Caribbean with my parents on a business trip when he was 1 or 2...and I got left at home with Grandma. I've never been to Disney either. But the ultimate "non-trip" happened 2 years ago. My cousin was house-sitting for some army buddies in Hawaii (they'd shipped out to Iraq), and I was hoping to go out there. Imagine my surprise when she said that no guests were allowed...and that she later came back home since it was too expensive. Damn!

Well, those tags are nice and all, but my dad's an electrician. We have that tape in abundance of colors, plus no S&H costs. It's cheaper to buy the rolls anyway, and allows wiggle room for creativity. But whatever floats your boat.
