We don't leave for another 35 days... I wonder how many times I will witness this scene between now and then.
I am reasonably sure she has a case with just shoes and swim suits, but I will keep my mouth shut in interest of keeping the peace at home :)
You've been looking in my suitcase too haven't you Hussyband? Haven't started packing for our Oct 18th trip yet but I've got my shoes and swim gear all lined up!
LOL! We were within a pound of our limit for our trip that we just returned from on the way there. On the way home we had acquired and extra 11 pounds and my wife couldn't understand why. My first thought was "it's from all the $hit U bought," however I know better to pop off after 19 years. Thankfully the lady at the counter helped me come up with a good excuse. Medical equipment gives you extra poundage, which I had by the way.Quote:

Yes, IRIEchic. I'm brave when she's not around. :p
For Christmas last year my wife bought me a digital luggage scale so we can always weigh our luggage after packing. (Think of a handle with a large hook to hang the luggage from). There is nothing more embarrassing to get than the time in the airport when we had to open both suitcases and rearrange items because one suitcase weighed 51# and the other weighed 48#.
Never again will we have to let everyone in the airport look at all of our "goodies"!
Hehe smart man!Quote:

And yes Hussyband.....my wife does the same exact thing.
Hussyband I have to say I start to get my stuff together at least 2 months in advance. I always like to make sure I have everything its just part of the ritual!!!
Wow. Really?? Well yall's wives are better than I am (Booger I know yours is for FACT). I start packing at 3:00 am to catch a 6:00 am flight. Crossing fingers and holding my breath when its time to put the case on the scale at airport. lol
Starting to think I should invest more time and thought into this from now on
Hussyband at least she's doing the packing and you don't have to worry about it?
