How not to pack a suitcase!

Hello again! What's happening?

I have just had the craziest week where I have been on the go non-stop. As you might guess from the title of this blog, I might of had a few hiccups. Last week was the BIG MOVE. I am still alive so... so far so good. Now lets talk about the first step to any move or travel abroad. Something that is very important and will affect you in the future. I am of course talking about the suitcase (or suitcases) that you are going to bring with you. Now I am the type of person who packs everything and I mean everything. From clothes, makeup, shoes to rubber gloves, cereal and enough supply of pads to make it to the end of the year! There's always those what if moments and I like to be safe than sorry.

So lets fast forward to the night before my flight. I am standing in the kitchen frowning at my suitcases on the weighing scales. I've always been known for over packing but this time I have set a personal record. I was allowed a max of 40KG and somehow I managed to get it to 54.6KG. Don't ask me how! I still don't know! So the night before my flight I am in a panic dashing around trying to get rid of 14kg! According the the airline website they charge €10 per kg that is extra. As a student, I nearly fainted when I realised I was nearly fined €140. So moral of the story, weigh your suitcases to make sure they aren't over weight and don't do it the night before the flight.
