travelling bag

I'm just recalling how lucky i am to have some friends who are always ready to help me when i need them. When i travelled outside the country for the first time, to Michigan that is, I didn't have any winter clothes. I didn't have any travelling bag. I was gonna just stay for 3 weeks so i thought buying new ones is really not a necessity. One friend who just arrived from Spain after an offshore assignment let me borrow her winter clothes. Another friend who just came from Norway to visit her older sister let me borrow her travelling bag. It was a red Samsonite bag so perfect for my stuff. I can't thank them enough. Because of them, i made my journey without having to spend so much. :) Though i had to buy another bag later because my stay was extended. I stayed for 2 months instead of 3 weeks only.
