Ski Diva Extraordinaire
My wonderful travel duffel bag has at last departed this earth. After 12+ faithful years following along at my heels, she has irreparably lost a wheel (with the help of Delta Airlines baggage handlers). This lovely lady, who was actually born into life as a US Swimming travel bag made by or for "Arena," held not only my ski boots and helmet, but (nearly) everything else I ever needed for a week of skiing. She never complained when I sat on her or strained her zippers. She always stood up straight and proud when I stood her on end. Her extendable handle had two locking lengths to choose from and retracted into a ladylike zippered compartment. She had thick, sturdily sewn handles on 3 sides so I could lift her easily from the baggage carousel no matter where she was tossed. She was a grey lady, so was sometimes hard to pick out in a crowd, but she proudly wore her purple argyle ribbon (she was subtle yet very distinctive). She was tossed, squashed, skidded, rained on, snowed on, and piled on and never complained. I shall miss her dearly.
Now that we have said our goodbyes, I need to find another bag who will keep me company and lighten my travels. I'm looking for recommendations. Eddie Bauer has called to express condolences and offer his 36 inch Expedition Drop Bottom Rolling Duffel, but I haven't called him back yet. Has anyone gone out in Eddie's Expedition?
All info will be appreciated. RIP Grey Lady - you were one in 100 million.
