If space is a real issue then surely any female is a liability?
12 pairs on everyhing (cant wear the same thing twice in one week now can we?) "Just in case" items not applicable to the tropics...like jackets, hats and gloves! There is after all a 1:25,000 chance of a blizzard. Shoes.....how many? (see jetblast thread). Novelty and sentimental items (photos of said 5 cats!), nonsensical fluffy toys. Toiletries, make-up.....Apricot moisturiser SPF15 for the morning, something with anti-wrinkle at night (salt air, sun...nasty stuff that!). Hair products.....its been in a helmet all day dont you know? Personal massagers.....Oh yes, I believe you!
Suitcase! Entirely impractical for getting up and down gangways onboard....but, rucksacks wrinkle my blouses, oh and by the way.....could you be a nice chap and carry this for me?
Damn forgot my passport and wallet.....you dont mind paying do you? Forgot my sunglasses too, let 'us' buy them first?
OWAP..."weight challenged persons"......come be a man, say it.......................................................... ...........................................................y ou know you want to.......................................................... ..............................................who ate all the pies?..........................................oh yes, the fat man did!
