Swinger
Yeah… I thought THAT title would get your attention. Ha! I know how your twisted minds work!
I was out with Jill from Doin’ It DutchieStyle for the afternoon yesterday in Utrecht. As I will be going on vacation to Schiermonnikoog end of next week and will be travelling to the US in September, I checked out my suitcase collection. It was nót a pretty sight… 2 of my suitcases have been mangled by the Italian airline that flew me and The Kid to Florence last summer and the 3rd and last suitcase had been broken into on my last trip to the UK the year before… Clearly I need to chuck them all out and get myself a new suitcase. I figured end of summer season those buggers’d be on sale here and there and I would check out some prizes.
Well, let me tell you first: however great they are, get those collections of Samsonite suitcases and trolleys outtahmahface! I am NOT paying for a brandname and those fuckers are just too expensive… However, it’s about the only thing they sell in Dutch stores. We roamed around a bit more in different stores until I found a stash of trolley suitcases that I liked. Especially as they had all kinds of flashy colors and I am SO fed up keeping a close watch to see which one of the tons of similar darkblue or black suitcases, that pass me by at airport bagage reclaim, is mine…
Jill and I walked up to the flashy colored trolley suitcases that were there. Exactly the right size, nice flashy color, nice prize… It seemed like the purrrrfect one to get… until…
My eyes noticed the brand of the suitcase, in big letters written on the top of the suitcase near the handlebar:
Errr… What Dah Fuck! “Swinger”???
There is NO WAY IN HELL that I am gonna roam the world’s airports dragging a suitcase behind my ass that says “Swinger” on there!
Hell to the Naw!!!
Oh come on, where’s your sense of adventure!!?? I mean, it’d made for great conversation when you meet up with Rico in the U.S. I can hear it now. “Umm, DB, hon…is there something you need to discuss with me before we go further in our relationship??” Buwahahahahahahahaah

kapgars last blog post..Are you diggin’ on me…
kapgar: I am? Really? You’re sure?
Did you find a suitcase yet?? Love the name of those though lol. Why don’t you try the zwarte markt ( my spelling may be way off lol) I can’t even remember where it is anymore, but I remember it is at least 1 or 1 and half hour drive from Den Haag, been to long since I moved to remember the name of the town/city it is in. But I remember they had a ton of luggage at cheap cheap prices. Good luck, and it’s time to tell your secret your a swinger at heart aren’t you?? LOL Just kidding.

I initially had the same reaction, but after I thought about it for a minute, I love it! It would make me smile every time I saw it. And make people wonder, which is ever-so-much-fun!

I have a pile of regular suitcases that sit in the basement although I travel somewhere pretty well every week. I have a small duffel and a larger duffel and they are great. Easy to carry, easy to shove under the airplane seat if the bins are full. I highly recommend them.
Just Dave: Ehmmm Hon… us women, our delicate shoes, clothes and shit and duffelbags… Nah… Don’t mix…
Oh but think about it, it could be so much fun… ; )
