Privacy was thrown to the wind at our event Coffee with Casey, held at the Pagoda Resort and Spa in Como last week. My faithful suitcase was opened and its contents thoroughly examined by more than 100 guests at our packing event.
Morning Tea and Overnight Stays
Guests were served a super morning tea on a tiered stand, with tables laid with pretty cups, saucers and plates. Some of our guests had stayed overnight, making an outing of it.
What's Inside Casey?
Casey had invited me, Leyanne Baillie, Christine Sutherland and his carry-on colleague Justin (Case) along. Guests were given comprehensive notes listing what Casey contains. For example, there is a tiny Sea to Summit umbrella, a lightweight powerboard and a sewing kit with iron-on mending patches. And of course, both Casey and Justin have Apple AirTags in them, so they can be tracked.
But that is just the tip of the iceberg. Despite all that, Casey weighs in at 18kg, fully laden.
Discussion and Q&A
For two hours, packing and general travel subjects were discussed, and lots of questions were answered.
Thanks to all who came, and to our friends at Pagoda Resort and Spa. There will be more West Travel Club events soon.
