Getting close!

Yoo hoo! Hot dog a frog!

My trip is getting real close now.

In about 9 days I will be waiting for the magic ride to the airport.
My Taxi usually picks me up at 6:30 A.M.

Very hard to sleep the night before, but I do get a few winks in.

All shopping done,
just need to arrange things in my suitcase and try to stay under 50 Lbs. a bag
so I don't have to pay for them on SW Airlines.


So, I will stuff things in the one suitcase.
Not that I mind, I never bring anything that I would have to pay extra in the declare line.
Last time I had all kinds of gifts and school supplies, but when I told the lady that "totally, it would only add up to about 30-40 U.S dollars", she said
Ok, put your stuff back in your suitcase and go.

It just cost me time waiting in that long line, watching all the Locals return from "real" shopping sprees in the U.S.

So, just one more trip to Walmart for toiletries
and maybe another toy for my girls and boy at the family yaad.

See you all there!!! ;):cool:

5days 18hours 8mins! Yea mon! :)
I will be waiting as well for my ride to the airport
Mostly packed (My goal is to get 10days worth in a carry on I'm so impatient waiting on checkin bags):rolleyes:
Just need to buy my candles, candy and incents...

Soon come!

10 days in a carry on?
Wow, I wish you success.

Hope to See you there.

I'm going to try almost the same, 10 days in a carryon + backpack.

Marko you can do it lol!

@Markospoon, have you ever tried travel cubes to pack your clothing? They are awesome! Saves lots of space as well.

@IRIEchic, you CAN do it! I packed for Europe in a carryon with no problem!!!! Stayed 8 days/7 nights

Amen sister!

I can do a carry on but my wife needs more room so we only check 1luggage bag. She has to have her curling iron, blow dryer.

The wife and I do 10 to 12 days with carry on and back pack, no problem.

i have done carryon which is a feat for me....1 drawback....you have no place to put our liquids ie liquor!

I make sure I get non-stop return flight for that reason alone...gotta get my liquids lol

Just 6 more days for us!
We tied the carryon and backpack, but for some reason we always seem to come back with more than we brought:confused:

I don't understand the carry-on only or the carry-on plus backpack thing. Why not pack a decent bag and check it ? No hassles at airport security. No having to leave something at home for fear of it being on the no fly list. No being scorned by other passengers on your flight when you are carrying TWO things on the plane. No holding up other passengers while you try to cram oversize carry-on and backpack into the limited space on a plane. No trying to pack 10 pounds in a 5 pound bag. No wrinkled clothes. Plenty of room to pack coffee, rum, etc.... on the way home.

The last two times we did the MoBay Club thing which gets you through Immigration super fast. Even with this fast, expedited service most of the bags from our flight were already off the carousel and sitting on the floor waiting to be picked up. We had ZERO wait time for our luggage.

If it was up to me, airlines should CHARGE for carry-ons that go in the overhead compartment and check luggage should be FREE. Imagine how fast and easy planes would load and unload.

This has been my experience, as well, every time we arrived at MBJ. In addition, I can never find 3oz bottles of sunscreen and insect repellent to put in a carry-on. So we just buy full sized bottles and check them. Between my wife and I, one checked bag works well. I save the carry-on for the relatively heavy snorkeling gear.
