coastal maine trip: the checked bag 2008-06-06 - 1:49 p.m. I've been editing this darn bag all morning, and here, barring any last minute changes, are the final contents: A "Box Star" box of Chardonnay -- It may be good, it may be bad, I don't know, but I also don't know if Maine is one of those Yankee states that is hysterical about alcohol and makes you search out special stores to buy beer and wine, and I don't feel like playing hide and seek on my vacation, plus I just read (this can't be true, can it?) that the best selling adult beverage in Maine is some kind of locally produced coffee brandy, which, let's it admit right now, does not inspire confidence, if that makes me a snob and a terrible person, especially after yesterday's post, yeah so be it, we can't all be Boy Scouts A portable "Little Igloo" cooler -- because I'm sick of buying and throwing away styrofoam coolers, which we would otherwise have to do Current contents of the cooler: 1 microfiber towel 4 small boxes of raisins a small microwavable container for melting butter which currently holds: 4 small packets of "Power Bar" electrolyte mix a chicken flavored salt packet left over from a Ramen noodle soup a sample packet of Ms. Dash "Grilling Blend" -- the idea is that I don't feel like buying and especially not toting around entire salt and pepper containers so here's some quick seasoning on the run should we need it 3 packets of Emergenc-C 4 tinned sardines 2 each of plastic fork, knife, spoon 2 little utensils for getting crab meat or (one hopes!) lobster meat out of claws 2 metal teaspoons 1 utensil that is a can opener, wine bottle opener, bottle cap remover a HUGE 16 ounce bottle of No-AD SPF 60 sunscreen -- what else do you take when there's boating involved? a bottle of saccharine tablets 4 packets of Flavor Aid lemonade and grape drink mix a grip for opening lids or washing clothes in sinks that might otherwise have leaky stoppers -- a surprising number of motels do 5 cans of Vienna Sausage in various flavors -- it can't be lobster morning, noon, and night, even if you're going low carb a Vermont Bag Balm tinned filled with 20 bags of French Vanilla flavored tea Note: The contents of the cooler are in a plastic grocery bag so that when we actually want to use the cooler as, you know, a cooler, we can just pull the groceries out, and there you go toothbrush small plastic make-up bag that holds: razor magnifying mirror mini sewing kit tweezers scissors 2 hair ties spare reading glasses Black and white flowered flip-flops Black and white patterned summer dress to match flip-flops 2 piece swimsuit with scarf-like cover-up gray cotton shorts and Veracruz shirt for sleep set -- because experience has taught me that a Mexican T-shirt is better worn some distance away from the actual Mexican border 2 sport bras 4 prs socks 4 pairs underpants 1 pr jeans 3 shirts -- yeah, there will be laundry, I'm bringing coins in my carry-on 12 spare AA batteries The total weight of the bag is a skinch under 30 pounds, which is where it needs to be since there are B&Bs and stairs involved. Nonetheless, it's packed to the point of exploding in all directions, and I pity the screener who has to investigate my bag. I did put the batteries right out on top, in case of a Mad-Air type incident. Also, I have no room for the nifty thermal plastic coffee mugs. I'll have to sneak them into DH's luggage. I've already got two of my First Class upgrades. Yay, me! The plane to Portland is quite empty, with only 3 of us up-front, even though it's a CRJ900 "puddle jumper" with only 12 FC seats. I'm going to ask for a companion upgrade there, if there's any time. Sometimes they say it isn't allowed on award tickets, but the worst they can do is say no. It isn't really very FC anyway, because there is no elbow room. I just remembered to hurry over to nwa.com and swap my seat from 4C to 4A so that there's no one sitting beside me. back - next All Rights Reserved, Copyright 2002-2017 by Elaine Radford
