I am packing for a 12 day trip to Paris and the French countryside. I have worked diligently through the years to pare down what I take on vacations. In the past I have always over packed.
There was my first trip to England where I took three bags, one large, one medium and one small. Each one weighed 60 lbs. My luggage weighed more than I did. I never did wear that tuxedo. Yet I didn't learn the lesson either.
About 5 years ago we took a 5 day weekend trip to Puerto Rico. I decided I did not want to wait for my luggage on the other end and packed as light as I possibly could. It's Puerto Rico, you need two pairs of shorts and swimsuit, right? So I packed light, we walked off our plane, to the curb and into a taxi. We were in our hotel before most people were out of the terminal.
I was hooked!
Which brings me to this trip, we cashed in our points and we are flying first class. And I am allowed to have THREE checked bags. Now I'm no fool, I know I can't carry all that. I am only taking two checked bags. However I have slipped an empty duffel bag in, just in case I need to bring back MORE.
P.S. Don't tell Mr Cooper. I have been packing in secret so as to not freak him out.
At risk of being so cliche... I'd probably fit in that 3rd suitcase.
ReplyDeleteYa. It's as corny as I'd thought. How about you grab me a keychain while you're away and send it to me once you get home! I collect them and I don't have one from there yet. :)
Well, ok.. yoou might not want to do that either. Soooo.. I'll just simply say that I hope you two have a great time!
