After we finished buying temple clothes, which took a little while--- it was hard to make a decision with Mom and Dad hovering over me, giving me lots and lots of advice. (ha ha!)I was beginning to think that I should have gone alone...--- I talked to Dad about a sale that I saw at Murvyn's for luggage. We went and took a look at them. The sale was even better than I remembered it to be: 55% off all luggage. Dad asked for a Senior discount, retired discount, military discount; looking at me he asked for a missionary discount, and any other discount he could think of. I love my dad! He makes me laugh. Even though we couldn't get a bigger discount, the 55% off was a good price, and Dad said he was happy with the purchase, not too bad of a price.
I was happy because I got BRIGHT RED LUGGAGE. It's what I've been wanting. It looks kind of like the picture below:
Buying the luggage made me think a lot about Australia...! Not only packing, etc--- which buying my luggage certainly made me think about; Mom is so cute, but I really don't think I need to buy all that much stuff, like a travel pillow that I will probably toss when I get there and a lint brush that I can probably pick up there...( ha ha!)--- I also have been thinking about the people and the country.
When we went out to eat, for lunch, the lady at the deli shoppe was from England and we were able to ask her questions about what she thought of Australia and about the money system. In England, they use pounds. In Australia, they have Aussie dollars. It was fun to talk to her and to think about Australia....! I can't wait to go.
I sit here, in my room, and look at my luggage and I think about how soon it will be for me to go! It's almost October, really. I leave in the end of November. It's coming fast. So fast that I'm buying luggage already. In my opinion, that's pretty cool. And my bright red luggage looks great!--- I'm not gonna lose those bags in air port security!
