Will it all fit??
I'm leaving on a Jet Plane... the tune is running through my brain all day. Yes, I'm finally going on my Spain adventure. My plane will be out of Lewiston, to Seattle then off to Paris. It will be nice to have a direct flight from Seattle but it will be a 6 hr. layover followed by a long over night flight.
I'll be met by a dear friend in Paris who will then be our
guide as we spend our 5 days having fun in Paris.
So, I'm looking at my bag that is bulging and hard to
zip! Oh Lord what happens if I want to
bring a few things home. I go through my list again, take out a few things and
try to zip again. A bit better, but
still awful tight. There are lots of
lists out there and Rick Steve's books are the best. He emphasizes keeping the bag wt less then
20lb. and my bag just makes it to 20 lbs. so I guess I'm ok. My friend who is a frequent overseas traveler
gave me a list to use. She had some
great suggestions that I've added to my list, such as a blister kit, a gallon
bag for trash and a few snacks for the long flight, tissues for everything, and
a lot of enthusiasm!
I've had so many warnings about pick pockets and I'm a bit
anxious about this one!! My money belt
will be on me always and only a few bills in my bag. I'll take my small back pack as a bag and
other then that I guess it will just have to use my karate if I need to. I keep putting things in and taking them out,
but at 4 am I'm out of here,
regardless! Au revoir mes amis!
