Saturday, August 14 - More Prep

Last night and today I have been reviewing my packing list with Fred and with travel savy friends.  Fred and I have also been trying to remember how we managed to get everything we needed to France the last time we stayed for a year. 

On that trip, he took 5 bags and I took 3 bags on our first trip in September.  There are some differences.  One or both of us will be back every 45 days or so, that means, for example we don't need to take our heavy winter things on this trip. 

Do we want to "hold" some of our things and bring them the second trip, this year in October?  With airline baggage charges that may be a smart move.  On the other hand, it is really handy to make a return trip with just our notebook PCs and our toothbrush and meds, no other baggage. 

Right now, I am thinking I will go with the "hold some" idea.  I will however, make a good list so the packing is easy for the return trip and I don't keep adding things to the list. 

Till next time!
