There’s No App For This…

My luggage has been through a lot this year, it’s put on many kilometers {heh, thought you’d say miles, didn’t you?}. On the way to the Blissdom Canada Conference in Oct, I noticed that the main zipper was separating. Heading home, it completely fell apart. But, the ladies at the Toronto airport were so nice to give me tape. Being a good blogger, of course I took a photo!

Pretty fashionable, right? My duct-taped luggage was the center of attention, from giggles to pity looks. Ya, ya, move along, people. Nothing to see here.

I was really nervous the whole flight, hoping all my contents didn’t explode on the plane underneath.Β Upon landing, I held my breath, expecting my name to be called by security, “Tammi, paging Tammi – come to the tarmac to pick up your underthings”. But, the tape held and the case soon came down the carousel {more stares and giggles}. Hey, at least I didn’t have a hard time spotting mine among all the others!

Then, the case took its final trip – to the dump!

I chuckle every time I look at this photo, so I thought you would too!

Happy Monday!

    I cannot help but to laugh at the photo, you poor girl. Travel never goes as planned, does it?

    haha omg I have a luggage strap (think big belt with plastic snap push together clip) Is this what thats for? I have no clue. I would be mortified if my undies were being examined by the baggage handlers.

    I bought a luggage set from Costco right before my trip to Hawaii in October, and when we arrive I found it started to rip near the zipper. I thought I was safe because it was a hard shell. I was so frustrated.

    This is why I usually pack shipping tape or duct tape, especially when the luggage is on its last seams. I call it “insurance” (although I’m sure TSA calls it “suspicious”).
