Bowman and Duffle Bags

My Dad is really proud of his luggage.  It a collection he's amassed through years of REI employment and travelling to Nepal where these name-brands (or their knockoffs) can be found in many corner shops.  These are the four bags (all just hovering around that 23 kilogram limit) that Mom and I had to get through customs in Bangladesh and Seattle about two weeks ago.  In Dhaka, we were quite a spectacle and no one wanted to help, but we did get plenty of aid in Seattle, and in the Kalispell airport my Most Amazing Grandfather was there to drag them off the belt for us. 

And now here we are in Coram, Montana, waiting for Dad to get here in three more weeks, and my new little sibling to arrive in about four more weeks.  Things are a little different here than they were in Bangladesh!
