An Adventure in Greece With a Dodgy Suitcase!
A Holiday of a Lifetime: Athens, Paros and Santorini
After disembarking the flight from Athens to the Greek island of Paros, I was annoyed to discover after collecting my luggage that the material around the hinge area of my suitcase was damaged. This is the story of how I fixed it (with some sight seeing on the way!). You can use this method for similar tears in textile material.
We booked our holiday in 2019 and expected to travel in 2020, but COVID put an end to our plans. We had booked flexible tickets with Aegean Airlines so luckily we were able to modify the flight dates, but this ultimately meant a lot of hassle.
I was travelling with my two sisters and being the tech-savvy one in regards to navigating websites, I was unceremoniously awarded the chore of booking all the flights and hotels. Ultimately, three flights and hotel bookings had to be changed four times over a two year period. The holiday would last two weeks.
