Minty

I'm am now the proud owner of a mint-colored suitcase that I have named "The Mintinator" but will affectionately call "Minty". I got it at Ross for $39 and it's everything I love in a piece of compact luggage. It is carry-on sized, but expandable, has skate wheels (perfect for places like Prague, where everything is cobbles), is an unusual (read 'endearingly ugly') color, so it will stand out in luggage claim. It has so many extra and hidden pockets I feel like I'm on a treasure hunt just looking through it! It even has a zipper-flapped water bottle pocket on the side! I tell ya...it's the little things that keep me thrilled to be alive.

I'm not traveling any time soon, but when I do Minty and I will be ready.
