Fellow Virtual Travelers,
We just arrived in Seattle after a very long night! Never went to bed trying to handle the puzzle of fitting 200 pounds of equipment and supplies into two suitcases.
This includes not only equipment, but some books for gifts.
Conclusion - it can't be done. We'll need two suitcases each. Now how many combinations and permutations do we try until each suitcase weighs less than 50 pounds? It took until 2:30 am! Left the house a little after 4am.
After getting on our next flight in two hours, we'll only have 12 hours left 'till landing in Shanghai! Then catch a train on our own to the hotel, for a one night stay!
Blessings,
A tired Dennis&Anita
