Am considering a new 3-day luggage piece. The trolley handle is a bit stiff now. The shoes are still good.
Have been doing a bit more of travel than the usual in the last couple of months and the bag has taken quite a beating. There's a bit of a sentimental value to this particular one - it's the first one I bought on my own and specifically for my very first work outstation trip in 2004. I can still remember it... the worrying over the fact I'll be the only lady in the group, the unsure-ness of how things would be, where I'm going exactly, what I'll be doing, etcetera, etcetera.

The gentlemen in the group, that particular one, and the many trips thereafter, have always taken good care of me.
The excitement of travel has always been a sure thing to make me geared up. Regardless of whether it's a new site or someplace I've been to before.
If there's one most important I've learnt is that to always, always make sure to bring along a pair of sturdy shoes. That's wajib. Can't be tottering in killer heels or cute ribbon sandals when your destination is 6km off the gravel road or 1 1/2 hours from the mainland shores.

However, am saying goodbye to most of the projects now due to the latest change of work function.
Will certainly be missing the good things that came along with it.
