Ok. How much luggage can a person fly with...

I packed for Wednesday - which may seem a bit premature to some but considering my schedule (kids skating, Christmas preparations etc.) over the next 3 days - it isn't. When I packed everything I realized I only had room enough in my luggage (other than gifts etc) to pack a pair of socks, underwear and a t-shirt. I hope there aren't any formal dinners in my near future or people might begin to wonder... if they hadn't already. I did however keep my priorities straight and managed to squish in 2 pairs of shoes. Talk about down sizing! I usually have an entire case of shoes and hair products. Issues? Yes, but I always had great hair when the need arose. Looks like this season calls for the Lilith look. Perhaps I can dress it up with a sprig of holly. Maybe a little evergreen branch?

Kid quotes of the week;

In a discussion about children misbehaving and what Santa will offer them by way of a gift, Babs shouts, "I know!!! - A junk of coal!!".

In a discussion with a girl at school about the perils of smoking, Roo says, "Oh no - shouldn't ever try that.... you might get attracted to it."

I love kids.

I'm off to the annual girls Christmas brunch - where we will don horrible Christmas sweaters and eat copious amounts of high calorie food. That has to be the best bit of the holidays... that and the kids sparkling eyes when they go to sleep on Christmas Eve.

Ugly Sweater Parties are all the rage for people in the know.

As I watched Customs Officers training to use firearms at the RCMP headquarters yesterday I was struck by how our nice country is being dragged into the dirt...I can remember the border guards just waving at us as we traipsed past on our way to the US to shop chez Tarzjay.

Now of course I am lugging around two minute titanium clamps in my Netherlands that supposedly don't go off at Airport Security...but I can't help hearing the snap of elbow length rubber gloves in my future...gulp

SAFE PASSAGE & have fun!

Enjoy, enjoy! It's way too hot for Christmas sweaters here ;-)

And I loved Roo's quote.

If I can't fit everything I need in a backpack...I don't travel. Luggage just isn't worth the hassle.

If you can afford to travel, you can afford to buy new stuff at your destination. That is my logic.
