I got this $28 fake fur during my last travel course to New Orleans. I think it is only fitting I bring it back with me for this travel course.

Tempted to Pack It All!

I never thought I would say this, but I wish they had more restrictions on the baggage.



Seriously, TWO checked bags up to 50 lbs each PLUS TWO carry-on items up to 50 lbs each (but smaller dimensions) PLUS TWO personal items. WHAT?!? Why do people fly? I don't need that much luggage for a week, but, damn, it is tempting to pack a ton and take it all with me. It would actually be simpler to have more restrictions. In fact, I always find it a personal challenge to pack everything I need for a conference in just my carry-on and personal items for a flight. I am not sure what to do with all of this space.

All right, I am resolved to limit myself to one checked bag and one carry-on bag. That will be manageable at the train station and in the cab. Let's see if I can hold to it.
