Packing

Australia / October 26, 2006 / John / 0

Oh God, make it end soon.

We’ve been packing for what seems like days. We have a baggage allowance of 20Kg each. There are five of us. That’s a tenth of a metric ton of luggage. No problem, right? Wrong – we seem to have twice that amount of rubbish kicking around. We’re filling case after case and the piles aren’t diminishing.

One big case holds 20kg. That’s fine. One small case can also hold 20kg of denser things – books, CDs, that kind of thing. The problem comes when you have a combination of case sizes – as I understand it, they don’t measure the whole lot and say “95 Kg, that’s fine”. If there’s five cases, one of them is 15Kg and the other is 35, you’ll be charged for the 15kg overlimit in the second case.

ARGH!
