WOW Lyn!!! You're really almost there!! is your packing done?

I am an early packer...so I did the kids clothes already, expect their costumes which I have to add and then this weekend I am going to try and do mine and DH. The only thing is I have my "comfortable" jeans that I like to wear and it has a little extra room in them...so I am sad to pack them and not wear them to work Oh well, I will survive, I will keep my eye on the goal....next weekend I will pack up our medicines and some of that stuff. This trip we are not renting a car and so I can take 8 pieces of luggage usually with 2 car seats and diapers, etc. I have to ration space....I almost feel the need to take more stuff...but I will resist. Plus, we usually don't buy to many souvies, but since we will be there so long I am debating taking two extra bags???? Just in case...I would hate to have to buy a bag there. On one trip, we had a few hours between our flight and checking out of the hotel so we went to an outlest mall....it was so bad. I bought a big rolling duffle to fit all the stuff we bought ...but the deals were soooo good and we don't have an outlet mall here

We had to buy extra bags when we went we bought soooo much! when I got home I couldn't believe how much we bought I would definatly take at least one extra bag, especially since your kids have never been there, they're gonna find tons of stuff to buy!

That is what I just ended up doing.

I think I might be walking with her. So I will have to rely on DH to take some of us.

oh no, that may exceed the plane's limit

 

[Mom2Ashli]

oh no, that may exceed the plane's limit

 

[trappednabox]

oh no, that may exceed the plane's limit

That's why I made sure we took as many bags as they would let us, but my mom forget one of hers at home, so we had to buy one while we were there. I was soooo scared they were gonna say they were too heavy we stuffed soooooo much in them

[Mom2Ashli]

[Mom2Ashli]

And don't tell me to fly a kite.

When I pack, on the day we leave I roll all our stuff and put it in our kitchen near the door so DH can lift them into the car....he started taking our scale from the bathroom, standing on it to see his weight and then carries each bag, one by one, to check the weight if he thinks it is questionable ...I guess it is better that he does it a home then at the airport... so, I started to watch how I pack more and I distribute the heavy stuff, like liquids, into all the bags instead of just one.

I am heading off to lunch...be back later.

 

[Mom2Ashli]

Where did everyone go?
