So, yesterday marked still a long 5 months until Italy...I spent last night trying not to go to bed at 7pm after an afternoon of wine at Baby T's shower and Sangria/Margs at Joy's going away celebration by looking at travel bags. So here is the deal, peeps who have been to Europe/Italy...do I really need one of those "safe travel" bags with the various security features like wires in the straps or will I be fine with just a normal bag that has secure closures...
I also did some research on my recent personal pact to try to take a fabulous trip every two years (this aside from all the mini-fabulous trips i take in between).
So, to celebrate my 30th birthday in 2011...I've secured a verbal commitment from my mom to come with me to do this (or something very similar). Totally awesome. Pay special note to Day 7 and "Panda Kindergarten" and imagine me squealing with delight. I need to get my side business up and running to increase the cash flow a bit!

Luggage: I have never taken special luggage anywhere...heck I don't even lock my bag normally unless I'm leaving it alone in a hotel room with something valuable. TSA will just remove locks or break them...so I wouldn't even bother...take a few locks with you so you can lock them up when you get there, but don't worry about the special luggage. The key and most important thing is DON'T PACK ANYTHING VALUABLE in your bag. If you want to see it again...keep it with you at all times. Your passport, your camera, your wallet...pack those in your carry-on and keep them with you on your trip. You should be fine though if you keep it with you!
And pandas: This was how I was going to bribe you to come with us to get a baby!! That bribe may still be on the table. If you can I highly recommend the Xian portion of the trip...the Terracotta warriors are in Xian and it's a REALLY cool city to hang out in. Can I come to interpret?!?!
I want to go. Sign me up.
