@margo,
My last big trip, which you've all heard enough about, I carried a duffle bag and a big fat purse. Those wheel things are heavy, especially down subway levels of steps.
But dlowan already has her bags.
The only time I had trouble with checked bags was on my first trip to albuquerque.
I had gathered Dys would like my take on the garden, so I added a drawing pad, mech pencils, and electric eraser. Which, in my life, was like, a wave of the hand.
That's what got held up. Must have puzzled the security folk.
As it happened, Dys just wanted my nod re his garden. Which was, sure.
Margo, well I remember our dragging our giant luggage down viale Aventino in Rome, ca blunk, ca blunk, and then up the hill, at 35 plus hours sans sleep. After which we came on down the hill and slipped into a pizzeria..
K, never mind, I just speak in anticipation.
