But I hear ya -- I am so annoyed how much the airlines are gouging us with fees -- it's getting more and more ridiculous. And I feel like we're being held hostage by this. I'm going with the put-luggage-in-overhead-with-crowbar move... let's see how "efficient" the airlines will be with everyone doing the same thing! Can't the CEOs take a pay-cut in their multi-million $$ salaries?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-27939358642016850812008-12-01T21:30:00.000-07:002008-12-01T21:30:00.000-07:00Well Jeanie Marie, I guess you could have donated ...Well Jeanie Marie, I guess you could have donated them to our wardrobe challenged sis.

Now, if I was only allowed a backpack, I wouldn't have room for other clothes. <BR/><BR/>What I don't have room for is my favorite fluffy clothes. The sweaters, hoodies, jackets, slippers. If I find something cool at the thrift store I will get it but I don't want to spend that much time there. Afterall, I spent $400 on the ticket so I could spend time with family, not at the thrift store.<BR/><BR/>I'm always dressed in the same clothes anyway. Seriously, my sister just posted a photo from 4 years ago and I was wearing the SAME shirt that I have in my closet and was planning to bring!Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-34139845659046709442008-11-18T19:21:00.000-07:002008-11-18T19:21:00.000-07:00You could leave out the clothes, and when you get ...You could leave out the clothes, and when you get there, buy some from a thrift store to keep there for future trips. Of course when you look back on family photos you would always be dressed in the same outfits. I kind of like the crowbar idea though.Over the Cubicle Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04842722161649016062noreply@blogger.com
