Luggage...

So all of you who came to the airport with us before we left were probably thinking we had too much stuff, and ya know what? You were right! We’ve gone through a couple “downgrades” with our luggage (if you can even call it that!) First off, we ditched the black bags!! We now understand why no one would take our money for those bags – they’re ridiculous. I guess it serves us right for not having to pay for them! Karma is a (insert word here). We went to the market and bought a wheelie duffle bag that could fit a small adult, re-packed all our stuff (got rid of some things), and thought we were ready to travel the world – 1 small annoying black bag, 1 huge duffle bag on wheels, and our backpacks (which are awesome). We went three blocks with everything, and went back to the market to buy yet another bag! This one, although not quite as big as the one we already bought, fit a ton (or whatever it is in kilo’s!). So we repacked all our stuff again. This time we were sure we’re ready to take on Australia. We had our big person-sized bag, smaller wheelie bag, and our backpacks – life was great….not! One trip on the train to Josie’s house, and we realized this wasn’t going to work! Mainly based on the fact that she offered to make two trips from the train station to pick up all our stuff! But thankfully we got it all in one trip. So, after over a week of picking out clothes to leave behind, we’re finally ready on our way to travel the world! We have our backpacks, and the second smaller duffle bag. We left over half of our clothes that we brought at Josie’s, so when we come home, it could be quite the adventure!
