sherry,s suitcase 2

i took the bags home and put them on the luggage rack ,fit perfectly , i was excited , i knew she would like them . then went inside to get sherry to see them .she said " you want me to live out those little bags for 55 days ! " she looked , walked around them , looked inside , then said were are you going to put your clothes ? she said she could use one for clothes , one for shoes and needed another bag for makeup .she suggested that i ship my clothes to each hotel that were staying at on the trip . we are trying to come to some kind of middle ground , might have to make a trial run to see how they work out . have to keep you posted on the outcome . michael ( p.s. jeremy , keep you phone on in case i need you ! )

sherry,s suitcase

as most of you know sherry sometimes over packs which has resulted in a lot of experiences for us ( ireland going on the ferry , in spain in the mountians ) so we have to pack lite . i pointed out that the plus 8 has't a trunk like the aero or a back seat like the 4 seater . it has a simmons rack on the back .i also said that we could only have a bag each and it had to fit the rack ,with wheels ( i'm not that strong anymore )and waterproof . dennis give me a samsonite which fit the rack , but i couldn't lift it . i went to every luggage store in portland and nothing worked . went on line for waterproof luggage , found big agnes in colorado . they are called stagecoach waterproof rolling duffel, 22 in high 14 in wide ,very well made . two of them will fit perfectly . can't wait till sherry see's them , should be fun to see the look on her face . keep you posted on that . michael
