Samsonite!

One of my favourite quotes from Dumb and Dumber:
Harry: What's her last name? I'll look it up.
Lloyd: You know, I don't really recall. Starts with an S! Let's see. Swim? Swammi? Slippy? Slappy? Swenson? Swanson?
Harry: Maybe it's on the briefcase.
Lloyd: Oh, yeah! It's right here.
[He reads the manufacturer's name, which is Samsonite.]
Lloyd: Samsonite! I was way off! I knew it started with an S, though.
But whats the reasoning for this post? Because I bought a Samsonite suitcase!

I went to Victoria Station today and had a look at the Samsonite F-Lite hard suitcase and another model which was exclusive to them. I liked how the F-Lite was a hard shell, but there was no padding or anything inside! Decided against that. The exclusive model wasn't bad, it wasn't a hard shell but was nicely lined with a heap of different pockets. But at $199.95, I knew I could get similar models online for slightly cheaper. I walked away...

The Samsonite Ultralite 6 72cm case (shown above) is what I bought online. From a Sydney store (both online and shop front), they are $155 + 25 postage to WA. However, after searching around for awhile, I found a PayPal code which was for free postage for orders over $60! Score! PayPal is good for something!! haha.

So I got my suitcase for $155 all up. Well, not that I've got it yet or anything. Touch wood they have stock, as their website doesn't show stock levels. Only 84 more days till I can use my suitcase!
