With just a few hours to go, how much luggage is too much luggage?
The clock is now ticking down. We leave in just a few hours, and the last minute preparations are occurring at a furious pace. The biggest concern of the moment - how much luggage is too much luggage? Once again this year, I tried, in vain, to pack light. But how does one pack light when experiencing large swings in weather?
Add to that the very stingy luggage allowances from Aerolineas Argentina, the airline who will be taking us on one leg of our trip from Buenos Aires to Iguazu. If you do not fly an international leg with Aerolineas (which we are not, we decided to go with LAN), you get a measly 15kg baggage allowance per person. Anything above that is considered excess baggage, and Aerolineas will charge about $1.50 per kg extra. That's not really a big deal, but it's annoying. And consider this fact - at last weigh in, I think Christine and I had about 80kg of luggage (about 170+ pounds). I guess that constitutes taking a third person along, huh...
Right now, I think it looks like too much luggage - two large suitcases, a medium suitcase, a carry on, and a bookbag. Well, so much for the attempts to pack light...
