Packing It In

My bag is bigger than yours.

There is a definite difference between how men and women pack for a trip, unless your husband is the metro-sexual type. Try as hard as I can, I always manage to bring half my closet and half my medicine cabinet. It definitely gets worse as you get older, the face creams alone require their own rolling bag. 


On a recent trip, my husband had a bag for a week that could fit in the overhead. I had 2 bags that needed to be checked and carried by a skycap that could lift the suckers. The other downside to over-packing is that you brisk blowing out your back by trying to lift them and ruining your trip!


The solutions? Travel light and shop your ass of at the destination, pay a fortune and ship your bags, or plan a staycation and bag the whole thing. 


Travel is over-rated anyway, right?

    And believe it or not but my husband taught me a really cool trick . Buy stuff that you don't care if it gets wrinkled and roll it . Now when I pack I CAN get 2 weeks of stuff in a one week bag and I CAN carry it ! Boy scouts, gotta love 'em
