I’m packing for my first trip via airplane in two years. The trips we’ve taken over the past year and and a half have included variations of the following: paddle boards, kayaks, bicycles, boogie boards, dog, kittens, camp chairs, coolers, groceries, etc.
This time, it’s just me with my carry-on and personal items: some clothes, toiletries limited to 3-oz bottles that can fit in a quart-size ziplock, a couple of books, and a few pairs of shoes. Oh, and a few masks, since we’re back to that.
It’s freeing to be traveling so light, but I’m sure I’ll miss my paddle board when I catch sight of Lake Winnipesauke. Oh well, this is a trip to get Dad back out in the world and a chance for him to visit with his sisters. Live free or die!
