GregD Posted February 16 Author Report Share Posted February 16 15 minutes ago, jbrinkm said: Well I'm wondering if she's missing shorts! Did she end up getting new ones? Are they packed? She did get 1 pair of new shorts. We went out the other night searching. Being the moody teenager she is, she is extremely picky about the color wash that they are.....and god forbid she gets two of the same ones....so that was fun. I do though have a little bit of sympathy for her. She is old enough that that she wants things from the women's section, but she is too skinny to fit the smallest size, so she is still stuck in the kids section......so you can imagine how well that goes over. She also has a bunch that she uses at the cheer gym that she probably packed. She tells me that she packed two pairs of athletic shorts, and three pairs of jean shorts.

Ampurp85 Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 So wow. I mean the average luggage is under 6lb ...........so what do people bring that 28lb for children/teenagers means they don't have nothing in there I consistently keep my luggage at a good 28-35lbs and this includes a fan......which is often the heaviest thing in my luggage. Also, yaaaaaay just two days away from sailing and shenanigans. WAAAYTOOO, MaryS and asquared17 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregD Posted February 17 Author Report Share Posted February 17 Bags are about packed. Just need to do the usual last minute things like toothbrushes etc, makeup etc. The Boss is still figuring out how the weighted blanket gets packed. In the morning I have to take this goof ball to puppy camp. I am pretty confident that when I load the bags in the car, I will suddenly dislocate my shoulder.

Not too bad.

Ampurp85 Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 I hope your flight is smooth. I know Texas has better weather than we currently are experiencing. It's 12 degrees in Chicago, sunny but . I have two issues with southwest, the unassigned seats and the fact they ususlly only pay for one carousel for luggage. So you wait forever for checked bags.

So my bag, the blue one, was 47lbs. In that bag is all of my stuff, all of Johnnys annnnnd some of The Boss’s stuff. The boss likes to have her “options” for outfits etc etc, so she is a chronic over packer . She also has things in Lydia’s bag too.
