I love to travel. It’s getting there that I find
challenging. My preference is either to drive or take the train. Unfortunately
because of the extreme distance I sometimes go those two modes of travel aren’t
always reasonable. So flying is my option.
I’m not sure which I dislike more; flying or taking the bus.
I guess I would say I dislike the bus more but at least you don’t have a weight
limit on your baggage and you don’t have to take your shoes off. This brings me
to what this blog is about.
The last time I flew the airline allowed one bag at 50
pounds or less for free. A bag that weighed more than that would cost you as
would an additional suitcase. I was extremely anxious. My bag on the way there
wasn’t more than 50 pounds but this bag felt much heavier. Boy was it heavy. Do
dirty clothes weigh more than clean ones? I think the answer is yes.
Anyway I lifted my suitcase onto the scale holding my
breath. Phew it was right on the money 50 pounds. Then it hit me. Before I lost
50 pounds, three years ago I used to carry an extra 50 pounds with me
everywhere I went. That sure is a load off….
