And so it Began.....

Rise at 5:00 am Monday to catch Flight to San Francisco.

Upon arriving at Airport at check-in, we discover that one pair of the sister's shared suitcase weighs 56 pounds. The limit is 50 pounds. While the other smart pair of sisters, I won't say any names, but her their initials are TC & TW, their case only weighs 41 pounds. You see my Dad said one large suitcase split between 2 girls each so as to save space in the trunk of the rental car in England. So right there in the United Airlines Terminal for all to see, the heavier suitcase is flung open and the repacking begins! and then the reweighing! Thank Goodness no one I know was in that lobby while the 4 of us packed and repacked on our knees in the lobby under my Dad's watchful eye. Then there was the mix up with the boarding passes, Teri had 4, I had none.....and so the chaos began and we hadn't even left Santa Barbara yet.
