Packing Pro

Today is our pre-departure meeting. We were told to come to the meeting packed, and ready to go to Australia. We will walk to downtown Auburn for a drink (I'll be getting tea!), so that we can get a feel for how traveling with our luggage will be like.

I wanted to take one bag to avoid paying all the checked luggage fees. Also one bag means less "junk" to lug around! New Zealand's carry-on weight limit is 10kg, which is a little over 20 pounds. I was able to pack one bag, which weighs 14 lbs.

On the trip home, I'm sure it will weigh more!!!

    Wow, 14 pounds doesn't seem like very much for 40 days worth of clothes, computer, etc!
    Hope you guys don't have to carry it around too much though- my brothers and I spend 3 weeks in Europe, and a backpack can get pretty heavy after a couple days of walking for sure!
