A small hiccup

While doing last minute packing checks late last night,  I noticed the seams coming apart on my old well loved suitcase..  After momentary panic,  we made due with one big case and one small one,  and managed to fit everything,  but a towel.  I. Guess we won't be doing any space travel..   We are on the way to the airport on schedule, but I wanted to say goodbye to suitcase!  I'm pretty sure it took me on my first big trip to the Amazon at 13, and it lasted me all the way through to Ireland so I could be proposed to!  It has served me well! See you all in Costa Rica!  Or sooner if I can't sleep on the flight!
