The bags are packed and ready to load into the car for my flights tomorrow. My late husband and I were never known as light travelers as we often had two bags each plus a carry on for a grand total of 110lbs of luggage per person. As the years went on, however, and we stopped bike touring, we traveled lighter with every international trip but this year will set the record of only 28lbs for the checked bag and my back pack. It helps to need only hiking clothes as I won't be spending anytime in a city. Just the 1 1/2 days in Madrid at the front end without any formal dining.
Off to take Baker Street and Holmes to the breeder. Camp Golden Retriever with swimming optional everyday.
