Those of you still in the Triangle area might want to check out the big honkin' sale at Florenza, the odd chi-chi luggage store in the little strip next to Cafe Driade. I somehow ended up there this weekend, and pretty much everything there is seriously discounted. They have little plastic bottles for your liquids/gels, a wide variety of pouches & sacks & things to hold things in, travel clocks, and yes, super expensive leather luggage made in Italy!
I myself bought the cutest little miniature chess.checkers/backgammon set. It is magnetized! And a miniature Michelin road atlas of Italy for $3.
Weirdest item up for grabs: disposable underwear. $5 to anyone who tries it.
