My doctor has been telling me for years that I must lose some weight. This has been one of the hardest things to do, given that I no longer burn off as much fat as I once did with my everyday activities. An unfortunate byproduct of this is that my clothes take up more space in a carry-on than they should - especially in Marian mode.
Over the past few days, I have been trying to squeeze a week's worth of clothes into a single carry on bag, with any overflow going into a small backpack. It was a little easier for me when I had a bag from Mystic Seaport which could be expanded at will. (It was a great personal item to take on a plane.) But I think that it migrated to RQS's place - and that I don't have it when I need it. AARGH!
Sooner or later, I'll have to learn how to minimize what I pack. But my makeup and toiletry kits take up a lot of precious space - something I wouldn't need if I traveled as Mario. At least, I'll be traveling as Marian on this trip, and not needing to present as Mario for at least 7+ days. I can finally get my nails done!!!
Hopefully, I'll be able to drop a few pounds before next summer's trip....
