Here's my suitcase for the trip there. I'm going to be gone for a month, that's right - like 29 days. This bag is the size of a carry on - I have never EVER packed this well, EVER.Here's what's in my bag:
- pair of jeans
- pair of short
- workout top and shorts
- 5 shirts
- black sweatshirt
- 2 pairs of shoes (flip flops)
- shower bag
- toiletries
- jewelry bag
- hairdryer
- hair straightener
- 2 bags of random stuff I always take when I travel (extra contacts, nail clippers, mouthwash, hand sanitizer, etc)
- undergarments
- swimsuit
I've already figured out that I can bring back over 250 lbs worth of stuff. Kyle gets two check bags weighing up to 70 lbs, I get 2 50 lbs bag (don't get me started on the fact that Kyle get's to fly direct in business class and I have a layover in Amsterdam and have to fly coach, BAH!). Then I get a purse and one carry on (my new Vera Bradley duffel) Kyle get's 2 carry ons and a 'ladies handbag'. For the sake of our marriage Kyle will be carrying a 'ladies handbag' onto that airplane...
So we'll be taking home 3 pieces of luggage. We'll buy 2 new pieces in KC (the bigger the better!) and that will give us each 2 checked bags, one carry on, and one 'ladies handbag' a piece. If that's not enough then we can pay for heavier bags or for a 3rd bag (and I think we have bigger problems...)
