Do you recall where you got them? Tom & Judy I think I got the Red Suit Bag at Marshall's - It is incredible what it can hold. We have 2 suits, pants 14 shirts, undergarments and most of my electronics in it. The other bag was actually a freeby from Samsonite. I bought in an old Canvas Samsonite Suite bag to have the zipper replaced. They said they couldn't do it as the bag was so old. As I was leaving --- he said why don't you take this - brand new with labels still on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just going to order some brightly colored ones if I can’t find that specific one. Tom & Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repair cost $40..but would cost much more to replace the bag. Only 1 place around here does the repairs now....it was worth the long drive to drop off and pick up. Our most recent luggage is from WALMART...works ok for our current needs! Mostly to and from Fl. We use bright orange velcro neoprene handle wraps, and very colorful paper string on all our bags! Easy to spot. Best of course is if we can walk off a ship.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted September 9, 2023 Author #483 Share Posted September 9, 2023 (edited) Lots of legroom on Exit row and all the middle seats in Premier Sections are empty. The pilot pushed back 10 minutes early and was in the air shortly there after. BTW TMobile give free text and internet on United. I know some of you like to disconnect but I feel naked without connectivity. Edited September 9, 2023 by Jim_Iain 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We spent a couple days in the New Forest hiking and just enjoying the area. We also were able to take a ferry to Isle of Wight and visit Osborn House - recommended highly. I do remember following your COVID quarantine on your interrupted B2B2B and your positive comments on Lymington and the Airbnb. Very happy you were able to book the unit again and under better circumstances ! The unit looks, and from your description, sounds fantastic! Safe travels today! looks and sounds fantastic from your description and its location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted September 9, 2023 Author #490 Share Posted September 9, 2023 We are in Denver and needed food. I remembered that Chase Sapphire Reserve includes Priority Pass as a perk. I fired it up and since there is no lounge they have designated restaurants. For the 2 of us we get $56 in credit on anything ordered. Covered our whole Lunch/Dinner We thought it best to grab a meal as we don’t arrive until after 9:00. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkesbaynz Posted September 9, 2023 #491 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Looking forward to the trip review…. as always😀. Glad you booked the cottage in Lymington. When we sailed yachts it was our favourite port to moor up. Great bars and restaurants. You May remember Winnie our chocolate Labrador who swam out to the Silhouette on you cruise to Spain from Southampton (okay I chucked a tennis ball). She was born in Lymington. Her grandfather was a US show champion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think high on our demand list are itineraries other than the standard Caribbean and Mediterranean and of a duration 14+ days. Top on my list is a life long dream to visit Africa. Crystal Cruises & Windstar are worth looking at as well:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
