Baggage limits .........

I started to pack properly the other day, deciding to pack what I thought I wanted to take, then going through it to cull the excess. This was a fairly easy thing until today when I realised that even after the cull I was still on 28kg for checked luggage.

I am certain that the limit last time ( and the times before) was around the 30kg mark but BJ announced that 20kg was the limit on most international flights - cue ominous fanfare and bug-eyed expression.

20kg ???????????

Now ok, I will admit that I have a tendancy to overpack although I have gotten better the more times we do it but really - 20kg for 7 weeks is not a hell of a lot. I am no clothes horse but I am also not a 2 shirts and a pair of jeans kinda guy especially when we are away for close to 2 months. I know I can buy more stuff over there but what the hell do I do with it coming home????

Anyway, back to it - onto the 4th repack ! Down to 22kg now
