is much like yours. The last suitcase he bought for our daughter to use for her school trip. It was $2 at the Oppy because it didn't have wheels. The problem was fixed with some skateboard wheels that he had laying around and they were attached with cable ties. The kid loved it and he was mightily impressed with himself. Needless to say I have no hope of owning fancy luggage! My hubby also beams with pride when he can find the best deal on wheels at Walmart. But I finally forced him to buy a large 360-degree-wheelie-thingy when we were last in the US. He has to travel so much, and he was complaining about his back, yaddy yaddy yaddy yaddy. Secretly, I think he loves his new bag, but it means that we have yet another piece of luggage for the elephant bone yard. Interestingly enough, our little English home doesn't have one of those huge purpose-built luggage rooms often seen in National Trust estate homes. I must admit I did splurge a little a few years back when I spotted some sexy silvery shiny bags at the Marina Mall in Abu Dhabi. It was my first encounter with 360-degree luggage; I kept spinning the bags on the store floor, and embraced their smooth gliding ability. I was practically slobbering on these bags. I envisioned myself pulling these beauties through the airport, as they almost pushed themselves. I bought them. They are amazing. I'm happy I splurged. About
