And she’s off!

So this school hols I’m making a quick dash to the USA. My friend K has her long service leave next term, and we wanted to organise so we could do some travel together at some point. Since she’s also making her way through South America and the UK, we put our heads together to work out how we could work it, and 10 days in the US was it!

Our plans are to meet in Vegas, see some of the sights, go for a day trip to see the Grand Canyon, then head east to Niagara Falls. A couple of days there and we’re on the move again, to NYC for a few more days, before it’s time for me to head home again and K to visit family and wend her way south.

So now I’m waiting at the Perth airport in the Virgin Lounge for the first of the three flights to get me to Vegas. It’s been a long term and I’m certainly ready to get some sleep on the plane!

I’ve packed light, but not too light this time. I have a medium sized checked suitcase, but it’s only 1/3 full (weighed 8kg all up when I checked it, eliciting an incredulous comment from the ground staff!) and so there’s lots of room for shopping!

    Can you pack too lightly? I was planning to for this trip so advise me against it if you need to. xx

      Probably… Including what I was wearing, I have three pants and five tops. Might go shopping for another pair of jeans 🙂
