fat suitcase

this is emma and david at the airport, 5:34 am and ready to go into the terminal...
and re-pack her suitcases

(they didnt know this at the time this photo was taken-i am sure the smiles went away).

one weighed in at 73.5 lbs, the other was a slim 50.5 lbs.

just so you know, any of you continental travelers out there...they wont take a suitcase

which weighs more than 70 lbs.

period.

so...all of a sudden she was very grateful hunter lovingly

lent her his backpack from 8th grade

(boy goo on the inside and red boy graffiti on the front pocket).

so now, she is hand carrying four bars of soap, make-up remover pads and a

bunch of other necessary heavy items in hunter's handy, well worn jansport backpack.

AND, just so you know, if you are over in weight, it will cost ya.

100 bucks to be exact.

so better bring your credit card with the big limit too.

and this is what we experienced on the way back home...

and this is what i experienced when i walked into her room.

lucky me.

miss her already.
