Shopping for Dad

My wife and I took my dad shopping for some stuff. He got some new shoes that will be more waterproof than the ones he had. They're not quite hiking shoes, but hopefully they'll do the job for purposes of the trip. We also helped him pick out a new suitcase. It's a Samsonite "spinner". It has four wheels, and is really easy to move around. It doesn't seem very big to me, but is about as big as most airlines will allow. It's just like the one my son picked out a few months ago, which is interesting because he and my dad will be sharing accommodations during the trip. I've got a great big duffel bag that I'm taking. My wife is supposed to be getting some Space Bags for me to put things in. There will be at least some places that we won't be taking our big luggage because we'll only be staying one night, so we only get a small bag to go to the hotel. We have some "cubes" that we can put groups of clothes in so we can easily get things from the big bag into the little bag. My wife is an organization nut. She has the whole trip planned. I'm not sure the rest of the world is planning to cooperate, though.
