Well, I've had my packing dilemma today. I thought I had everything figured out...1 suitcase, 1 carry on, simple...right? RIGHT. I decided to weigh my 1 suitcase and found that it was 53 lbs...you wonder how did I weigh it? Well, first I got on the scale and looked at my weight, then I picked up the suitcase and looked at the difference. 3 lbs is too close for comfort. I had already eliminated all the unnecessary things, I could not get rid of more.
So, plan B. I replaced my carry-on with a heavy duty backpack (with wheels) and got a second suitcase a bit bigger than the carry-on and much smaller than suitcase number 1. After repacking, I will have to pay the extra charge for a 2nd suitcase (which my company has authorized and will pay for). My load during the layover will be a bit more manageable, and I can even bring my warm winter coat for the mountains and the night cold.
It may be a couple of days until you hear from me again. I will keep good notes and then share the great adventures. See you in 10 weeks. Take care. :) Sonja
