Rules of the road

On a recent tour of Western America, I discovered that travel involves many things I had never thought of before. The first thingwas luggage. The plane we took wouldn’t allow us to have a normal luggage bag as their size limitation was 16 inches. Sure, ladies can pack their makeup kits and a scarf and gentlemen their shaving kits and a few socks, but nothing else would fit in. If you are like me and pack 21 separate pieces for a 7 day trip, not counting extra pairs of shoes, then you are in bad luck. Either change only your makeup for the entire trip (the same outfit for all photos? Oh horror!) or pay thirty extra dollars.
