Just bought a new suitcase. One of those extra light ones. It's a bit boxy and boring but it means I can pack MOAR STUFF in.
Did I mention I'm having a long weekend in Tenerife at the beginning of February?

Why'd you want to get in a waiter's pants?

Why do you need a big suitcase for just a long weekend?
Surely all you need is condoms, lube, blue pills, wallet and the number of the local brothal?

I take a LOT of lube.

Oh, by the way, propper tip.
Wrap a plastic bag (prefably not a white one) around your handle(s), so you can spot it easier.

my brother had to fully clingfilm his suitcase in the airport when he went to Barbados
because it had a panel of camoflage stuff on it, and they don't like that sort of thing
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 6 Jan 2010, 13:17, Reply)

clingfilm is not ideal for covering stuff up
it's see-through

(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Wed 6 Jan 2010, 13:20, Reply)

Far too expensive.
You could book a holiday for the price of that case.

Mine was £45.

I do like cases that stand out so they are easier to find but I like that fact that this one is really light.
( girlinthehole, Wed 6 Jan 2010, 13:24, Reply)

It'd be a bit of a shit holiday though! :)
My issue is every time I travel somewhere my suitcase ends up getting smashed up, I keep having to chuck them, so I figure if I get a proper big one maybe it'll survive the flight crew this year!?

Not wanting to be picky and annoying here
but I was thinking of treating the other half to a cheeky wee long-weekend somewhere fancy. What are you thinking? Travel Friday and Monday?

P.s. your trip sounds spiffing. I went there back in October 2001 so shat myself on the flight.
( whenanimalsattackhumans clad in global hypercolour, Wed 6 Jan 2010, 13:22, Reply)

Hoping for Friday to Tuesday if the boss is willing.
It's my sister's birthday over that weekend, hence the trip.
( girlinthehole, Wed 6 Jan 2010, 13:25, Reply)

Sounds fantastic
the beaches were amazing. Certainly something to rock up February.
( whenanimalsattackhumans clad in global hypercolour, Wed 6 Jan 2010, 13:33, Reply)

Tenerife is ok but I'm not a huge fan.
I'm only going to keep my sister company over her birthday.

Going to Greece for two weeks in August which is far more exciting.

Yay!

( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Wed 6 Jan 2010, 14:38, Reply)

A long weekend in Tenerife?
Surely you could get off with toiletries, a few t-shirts, enough underwear to last for the weekend and some sort of skimpy garment for sunbathing which doesn't take up much room in your bag?

And perhaps a couple of litres of lube.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Wed 6 Jan 2010, 13:24, Reply)

Did the lube joke already.

( girlinthehole, Wed 6 Jan 2010, 13:28, Reply)

Yeah, I know
I was meaning that you'd have enough room for a larger quantity of it by taking fewer clothes.

enough underwear to last for the weekend
One pair of big pants should be fine.

Yup

Don't forget the air holes or he might be very stiff when you get home. (Oh, that might be what you want).
