Last year I turned 50 and had many 'firsts'. I climbed a glacier in Iceland, flew over a volcano, said goodbye to my college freshman at drop off and more. A full year for sure. Last month I experienced another first... I found Ghurka products. While on a flight from NYC to FL I was waiting for my flight and saw a fellow traveler sit down with a good looking leather backpack. My dad worked in the leather goods business here in the US and Italy in the 60's & 70's and taught me a lot about quality leather. My 'eye' caught this bag immediately. When I inquired about it I learned it was a Ghurka. After my trip I explored the company website and found the Burma back pack (not the one I saw in the airport but more my style). It's been on my 'wishlist' for a month. I subscribed to Ghurka and when this email arrived I decided to write.. I may not own a Ghurka yet, but one way or the other I will...the desire is strong...Hope I join the family soon...25% off would seal the deal for me...oh...yes...
