So our trip begins with packing. Debbie and Larry have two very different techniques of packing. He lines up all his different choices side by side and interviews each piece. He thoughtfully considers his selection and tries out various options. Debbie on the other hand has a big (over 2 days) or small (2 days and under). Larry has smaller bags to pack inside the larger bags which Debbie uses although has gone outside her authorized red colored bags and “borrowed” some of Larry’s green bags. On the morning of the trip, Debbie finds Larry’s suitcase open with bags aligned possibly by using a straight edge.
(Debbie might have accidently tapped the bag misaligning some bags). Debbie’s bags might have a couple of items rolled into a ball and stuffed in the corners using a Girl Scout technique. Larry’s bag closes with a fast melodic zip. Debbie’s inches closed with a slow moaning sound. At the home weigh in, Debbie weighs in at 44 pounds with much dancing around the room. Larry weighs in at 51 pounds with more dancing by Debbie. Larry points out that it is not a competition.
It’s always a competition!
