He let me open it (since we won&#8217;t be home on the actual day of my birthday) and it was a new suitcase. It&#8217;s 2 inches bigger than my older one, but is still considered small enough to carry-on and stow above the seat. And it&#8217;s got all those nice compartments and detachable elements (for suits, toiletries, etc&#8230;.)<\/p>\n<p>So, I took everything out of my old second-hand suitcase and repacked it into the new one.
