Given the prices and availability of seats, we ended up buying business class tickets - so we get an even BIGGER luggage allowance (4 cases at 70 pounds each - not sure that is actually a good thing). What to pack, what to pack???
Actually clothes and toiletries for both of us will fit into one suitcase at no more than 50 pounds - so the question is, what to do with the remaining 3 cases and 230 pounds (and that is before carry-on)?
There is the bottle of rum from Cuba, the seashells from Veradero (the best thing about the beach there) and a set of bongo drums I bought from a street vendor, Various kitchen gadgets that have been accumulated in the past 4 months - did you know there is such a thing as an avocado slicer? The walking sticks I bought for Lisle's birthday will fit in. Some computer stuff as well (hubs and wireless bits). Then there is art work - we have some interesting pieces that are packed away that would really do well in the house - native american from British Columbia - folk art from New Orleans - paintings fashioned after 1940's movie posters - Mexican folk art.
Every time we go, a little bit more goes with us and stays - an interesting transition!
