I thought I was packed. I have a real problem ever being completely packed because I can't seem to settle on everything I want to carry until I actually get it all out the door. It's ridiculous but that's the way I operate.
Therefore I repacked at her house. I had a luggage scale that sort of worked and I think I must have shed about 5 pounds of weight from the luggage. I thought this would place me WELL under the 50 lb limit (stay tuned). I then stayed up till 1AM for no good reason ... slept till about 3:30AM.
Got up and grabbed our bags and coffee and headed for the airport. Once we arrived, we took turns waiting in the car outside while each checked in. Jen first...then me.
So ... I checked in and threw my bag up on the scale...thinking "Wow I packed light this time...I am so impressed with myself". The scale read 49.5....geez. So much for packing minimally.
Time to park... so I left the carry-ons with Jennifer and proceeded to long-term parking. Met her in the terminal and proceeded to the gate.
I put a mirror under her nose several times to make sure she was still breathing.
