Back in October 2005, Ed and I took a 3 week tour of China. The biggest stumbling block in planning the trip was in finding a decent suitcase. I’ve taken to travelling light in recent years (because weight-lifting wrecks shoulders), but I needed a slightly larger suitcase in which to pack 3 weeks worth of duds.
 
I’d seen those Samsonite “Spinners” advertised on TV, and thought they looked pretty cool.
