Our luggage for the Similans

If you look over at the countdown timer on the left, you would notice that it's less than 24 hours to the Similans trip. Woohoo! Obviously, we had to have packed our luggage by now.

In view of this upcoming trip and the Andamans next year, we decided to splurge a little and thus purchased 2 new Carlton suitcases with hard shells. They were bought at the Robinson's Expo Sale and the total cost was S$369. (Supposedly at a discount, though I am not sure if I believe they are really sold at an original price of £255 = S$590 according to their website!

We put all the reels into those big waterproof plastic storage boxes before loading them into the suitcases, hoping that they will arrive safe and sound (Fingers crossed for gentle handling by the airport staff...)! The suitcases each weigh almost 20kg, thanks to the reels, jigs and assorted fishing barang barang we are bringing, so any shopping would have to be hand-carried on our way back!
