Super-cool in-flight bags in an über-cool pic

Hi-Ho soulies. I'm back after two great weeks of Olympic Games. I hope you're proud of your country and your athletes as I am. France brought home beautiful medals and made my two last weeks. I'd like to congratulate all the athletes who participated in the Games and all the people involved in the event. Hats off to the Britons for the wonderful show. See you in 2 years in Sotchi, Olympic flame.
