27 - oops, feel alseep

Very tired yesterday, so I missed my blog, but have no fear - double it will be.

Our topic for 27 - how to bring enough for a 10 day vacation for 2 adults and a 9 year old when your airline is charging you $25 per checked luggage.

Right now, we definitely are going to back our carry-ons with as much as we can, keeping them regulation size. Of course part of that comes after last year's incident where we had one of our bag's misplaced. Nothing like watching the Jammin' Jungle Parade and getting a call that your underwear was found!

We have in the past each had a checked bag, a carry one, and a personal item. Now, we are trying to get it down to only 2 checked bags. The idea is to due 2 loads of laundry while we are there. (we have done one in the past, and it actually works out pretty well) The other idea my wife has is to ship most of our toiletries to the hotel ahead of time. Another option is to stop at Wall-Mart or some place like that and purchase the toiletries there, travel size of course, and just leave them.

A worthless idea would be to buy them at the hotel where the prices are high enough to merit just packing another carry-on.

Anyway - with 27 days to go, it is something to think about as we try to build up spending money

Sleep? Is that what we're calling it now?
