I also got some new luggage, since I realized my check-in luggage is my Hello Kitty suitcase (AKA The Submarine)- which has a nasty habit of popping open if you don't lock the locks on it. It was made before all this terrorism stuff happened, when you could still lock your luggage, to keep things from falling out or from going missing. So, I went to Target and used some of my VGSX paycheck to get a $40 suitcase set of a check-in case, a carry-on case and a tote bag. It's lavender and zips, so the airline people will be able to open it. I'll still be freaking out about leaving my luggage in their hands, but I have to check my luggage this time so I'll have room for everything. I have too much to take to do carry-on only, as I usually do.
