Yup. Those are empty suitcases...four of them. Oh. And a box. And all my stuff. When I got up this morning, it occurred to me that I probably ought to put the stuff IN the suitcases. So, I went out and bought some more stuff.
When I got back with the more stuff, I had a momentary crisis. There's something final about putting everything you own in a suitcase (or four suitcases, even). I pack a lot because I travel a lot for IB. This was suddenly fundamentally different. I'm not traveling this time. I'm moving...big difference. So.... wait for it.... I sent the girls out to buy some more stuff.
When they got back with the more more stuff, I started actually putting some of it into suitcases. (I know. Isn't that novel?) After a couple of hours, it looked like this ----->
Thanks to the timely application of a bathroom scale, I'm fairly sure they're not overweight. (The difference between 70 and 71 pounds is $300.00. <.< ) Luggage tags are attached. Seems to be about done.
I'm leaving a lot of stuff here. I dont' think that's a bad thing. Four suitcases is enough stuff for anybody...don't you think?
I'm impressed it's only 4 suitcases! I do love to pack light though-so considering you're moving-I'd say 4 is just right. :)
ReplyDeleteExcited for you!
Make sure to post when you get there and get settled. :)
The best thing about these suitcases is that they all arrive in Hong Kong...at the same time...when they were supposed to :)
