More Luggage Woes

Today we found out we can only take, one, that's right, one measly carry on with us on our trip to Singapore. What's worse it can only weigh 22 lbs. That's just nuts. As many of you know I am a carry on nut. I rarely travel anywhere that is not carry on. I recently went on a cruise carry on. My roommates thought I was nuts. So having to restrict my carry on is truly difficult. Of course this time we are checking three, yes count them, three big bags. I mean really I will be gone for five months. I don't want to absolutely sick of wearing the same thing all the time. Hahaha

My carry on alone weighs 8 lbs. We could just put everything in our checked but I worry about my meds being in a checked bag. This means I have to carry everything in my gym bag because it weighs practically nothing. However, that means I have to schlep the bag rather than roll it. Sigh. We bought this luggage for our travels and so far we haven't been able to use it very often. 

My biggest fear is we wouldn't  have room for my pillow. As my friend Jennifer Jones would say, I am pillow picky. There is no way I could be away from my pillow for five months. Good news. After rearranging everything we can get all our essentials in our gym bags and everything else in our checked bag, including my pillow. Yay. 

I wonder what problem will befall us next. Stay tuned
