Travel, Wine & Shoes

I want a Louis Vuitton trunk, many of them.  I want to pack them and organize my stuff and travel with them.  I also want somebody else to carry them, carefully of course.

I leave Canada on Tuesday, May 28 and fly from Edmonton to San Francisco (Air Canada) and then San Franciso to Auckland (United).  With the time changes, I arrive in Auckland, New Zealand on May 30 and will completely miss May 29 this year!

Lessons have been learned the hard way over and over and I am travelling with only my purple backpack that comes in at a whopping 21 pounds!  Carry on and lightweight.  For those that have seen me pack, their jaws just dropped.  The 21 pounds includes heavy stuff like my camera and the many converters I need and I may have snuck in a travel sized blow dryer and hair straightener.  I even have space to bring back some Starbucks mugs for Nadine.
