Airport Luggage

I do love all of your episodes! Yet, I do find it incredibly strange that you (and so many listeners) find it strange that someone would want to buy luggage in an airport. People like me who travel the world constantly have a different perspective. For example, I was in a village in China once and my suitcase zipper broke beyond repair. I had to leave for the airport around 3 a.m. so had no options other than to just go. The airport I was flying to Hong Kong from was small. There were no shops and I certainly could have used a shop with a suitcase option. I had to have my bag sealed at the airport with those rigid plastic binding straps that are sometimes on cardboard boxes or lumber in the USA. Yes, a device with the ability to do this was at the little airport which is much more confounding than luggage in an airport shop. Lol.
