"When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money." -- Susan Heller
now that’s what i call smart traveling!! ahh but fortunately some of us learn thru our own experiences. Some who are smarter thru that of others, and some like me- never learn!!! at least not until now... and what brought about this wonderful change?? the fact that i have paid right thru my nose, twice within a years time(2005-2006), both in my onward and return journey - for excess baggage!! Now that’s a lot of contribution to the airport authorities.. And all going waste!!
What a horrid way to start off a journey!!!
Where we are allowed 20 kg's, how come we plan to carry 30+? How is it even remotely possible?? is it coz, we know we wld get our way thru....???!!!That the rules can be bent and molded to our ways? Now now... do these things happen only in our country?? Why do we take our systems for granted?? and find ways of working arnd each of them??? We were worried for days on end on how we wld get our luggage across without being charged for Eb at the Copenhagen airport!!! and in fact had to ship some of our stuff back to India...
the above quotes are in bright red for those of my brilliant frenz who traveled with me on my GSE program to Denmark and Lithuania, for all those of you who were lucky and escaped paying for EB, and for those of us who were unlucky- remember to travel light!!
At least I know for sure, that my team mate kannan and me, wld def make it a point to travel light, esp after buying those wonderful backpacks... right kannan?
Anyway... the moral of the rather expensive experience
