My Luggage...

Here is my brand new (as of New Years Stocktake Sales) suitcase!

It's a Samsonite Xion with '4' wheels - making it more likely that it'll roll off down a hill somewhere. Lol.
I got it from - Myers (of course). With 40% off + my 15% staff discount, it still cost over $200.

It's got lots of little hidey-holes and a cool combination lock for the main zips ======>
Very flash and with it's incredibly quiet and smooth gliding wheels, I recall dad playing with for ages - wheeling it around like a little boy at Christmas. Lol.

This suitcase is purely for my Topdeck Tour (they have specific dimensions and weights that your luggage has to be). Also it is officially my very own first suitcase.
I will most likely be borrowing one of mum and dads various other suitcases for my other travels (I'll need more than a 66cm suitcase for the entire 6 month trip).

Still waiting for my British Passport ('finally' got my application sent off - dodgy post office people). Should only be a few weeks or less now - assuming they've accepted it  :s



Other things I have got so far (via travel agent):

- International Student ID (gives me discounts on transport, entry fees, etc.)
- Travel Insurance
- Travelex Card (UK Debit Card). Basically the new traveller's cheque, and saves me using my Aussie accounts hence incurring fees from both ends 'and' currency conversion fees.
- UK Starter Package including: Sim card, UK bank account, Arrival info session, Recruitment directory, 5 pound international calling card, 1 free international money transfer, national insurance number (tax-file number), and my personal favourite - 5 day gym membership.
