Lighten Your Load
No one wants to be described as overweight, even if it’s in reference to your suitcase and not your waistline. Unfortunately, on a recent trip to London, I was on the receiving end of that word when the flight attendant told me that my Samsonite exceeded the 50-pound weight allowance at New York’s LaGuardia airport. Somehow, even with the best travel strategy, in the final moments before takeoff I packed on additional pounds by adding yet another black dress, impractical espadrilles, and yoga outfits to my already-overflowing bag.
