In approximately 48 hours from the time I'm typing this my group & I should be nearing JFK International Airport for our flight to the Emerald Isle!
My journey would have started way earlier in the morning. First I need to drive 2hrs to meet the ladies and then the 5hr or so bus ride from Maryland to NY. So its going to be a long day!!
Just about everything is packed. I was sadden to find out that my beautiful new pieces of Luggage wont be going with me...The carry-on apparently is too big for the "bus". It's fine for the Plane but the bus has restrictions and they want folks to use a size similar to a backpack!
LOL!! Yeah Right!
I was able to put everything into another smaller case...but it weighed about 12lbs. Schleping that around would definitely kill my back so I had to come up with a plan C...My laptop rolling case! Its ugly as sin but it rolls....I am so not liking it!!!
But then it gets better!! My new "clothes it all" suitcase where can pull out and hang your clothes is too heavy!! Once it was packed it weighed about 46lbs!! The max is 50lbs on the plane so that would limit the shopping I may want to do!!
So, once again I had to come up with another game plan...this one has me dusting off an old suitcase! The good news is that everything fits with some extra room...before expanding!! And it only weighed 38lbs. The bad news is its just as ugly as the laptop case!!
Counting down the hours!!!
