Bags packed...
We're flying out tomorrow morning and the pile of bags reflects my propensity for having to buy a new suitcase every few trips due to breakage. Also: I like colourful ones I can find on the carousel easily, although last time I came back from overseas I found the frequency of purple suitcases had definitely increased and I saw 10 go past before my one showed up!
Thank goodness we're not transiting the US - I'd hate to have to offload all of these and check them back in. Thankfully we'll leave some behind at the other end, so the return weight/quantity will be much smaller when we do have to transit through LAX.
