T minus 4 weeks!
Jul. 20th, 2011 11:17 amI'm REALLY looking forward to my nice long vacation.
I want to get more casual/travel skirts (with my derby thighs skirts fit me better now than shorts).
Then there's the issue of suitcase size & weight. I want to take my derby gear, so I can skate with a local derby league while I'm visiting. But the skates are about 8 pounds by themselves, then there's all the padding & helmet & etc. It might not be worth it. I'm considering taking a 2nd checked bag (& paying the extra $35 each way) just so I have one suitcase for my derby stuff (sans helmet) and one suitcase for my clothes (plus derby helmet).
I want to go get a couple more of the amazingly wonderful Pack-It Cubes. I have a few already, and they are SOOOO handy for suitcase organizing. Plus when TSA has to open & rifle through my suitcase my clothes won't end up all over the place.
I'm going to wander down to REI at lunch and look at skirts & pack-it cubes. Perhaps though I should measure the suitcase I want to take and make sure it's not over the size limit. I have a smallish sized suitcase that's good for 4-6 day trips, but I'm going to be gone for 10 days. Either I try & cram everything into that smaller suitcase, or I take the larger (which may or may not be over the size limit).
