Back when I was first planning this trip mid last year, I did some research and settled on this Osprey mini luggage. It is a good size and can be zipped up and checked it. I test drove it on last year’s trip to Kcon LA. For backpackers, it’s great as you can squeeze a lot in.
The first time I ever booked a flight was back in ’99. Oh so long ago. My parents or rather my Dad is not one for traveling or vacationing. Our vacations are usually staying home, watching tv or drama (Thai or Chinese – this is before the rise of Kdrama) Infrequently, maybe Thanksgiving, we would go to Fall River to visit some far off relatives. A few times, after they moved to Cleveland, my Dad would even drive us there. This is Thanksgiving. Think 15 hours to get there, 48 hours of more tv and drama watching and then another 15 hours back.
My ticket out has been purchased for months. I have a return date chosen and the flight home is almost booked. And there concludes my journey. I haven’t even left yet but the thought of buying the return ticket screams “FREEDOM ENDS ON THIS DATE…NOW BACK TO WORK AND REAL LIFE.”
