Just when we were cocky enough to believe we’d mastered the whole downsizing thing, we were hit with a $75 fee at the Cincinnati airport for one overweight bag! We vowed we’d never do that again!
After a delightful dinner in Boston with Dennis, Carolyn, and Patrick Darcy, we returned to our hotel room to jettison more stuff. Our goal was to shed 13 pounds. The housekeeping staff must have thought we were quite absent minded when they found all the loot we left behind! Boots, shoes, a lovely sampling of expensive lotions, creams, and scarves, and some household trinkets.
Success! When we weighed our herd of suitcases at Logan airport, all of them were a few ounces underweight! I’m proud to announce we’ve learned our first lesson of this adventure: It’s better to invest in feather weight luggage than to throw money away on the hefty stuff.
