How could you?

This time, I brought the green envelope home, because I did not know what to expect. I went into my kitchen, took the cat out and closed the door. I opened the parcel, and the brown bag, took out the suitcase and carefully opened it. Suddenly, my eyes popped out and my jaw dropped- a whole crowd was staring at me from in there: Alice, the Hatter, the Queen of Hearts, the Cheshire Cat, even the White Rabbit with his clock. It was a long moment of silence before I started laughing. I stopped after a while and looked at each of them, then at the card, then I went to show them to Sorin, who of course could not understand what it was all about. I’m looking at the details: the beads on the Queens crown, her face, the rabbit’s ears, the cat’s grin.

How could you? How could you waste all that time just for me?

You bet they will all come to the Conference with me, and I even got an idea what to say at the prize ceremony due to them. I only have one question: do they all need a passport in order to travel to Budapest legally?


P.S. Have I thanked you yet?

First flight

Through the hole, safely wrapped and stamped, AiW's suitcase started its first flight today.

Not through the Looking Glass, but through the window, you will have to check if our Correos delivers it on time to you.


Enjoy everything1

AiW's suitcase

Packing is an important fact when travelling. If we went through the history of travellers we would learn a lot about the differences in character, attitude, objectives and, of course, wealth.
But nobody can say travellers can set off like it, without a suitcase.
This is my contribution's suitcase for Budapest. A totally handmade pack. Whatever is inside is yours, but you can share it if you feel like it. I hope you enjoy that moment because you deserve it. Have a good trip.
