Packing

Like I wrote before, we have sent 2 boxes from Berlin to Poland, so we wouldn’t have problems with luggage. I really believed in this theory until the Saturday evening, when we started packing. I happily packed the biggest bag and weighted it. I looked at the weight display and couldn’t believe it. It showed 45 kilos! How was it possible? I started to rearrange things but it still weighted 39 kilos. The limit is 20! I was devastated. I knew I will have to leave my precious clothes in Oxford :(
My boyfriend Mark saw me and said: ‘lets get some sleep and we will start all over again in the morning.’ I agreed and went to put on my pajamas. Next day we decided to buy additional kilos through the internet and pack as efficiently as we could. Which meant we moved all the heavy things to the hand luggage and started putting all clothes into check-in ones. But this wasn’t enough! So we had to create 2 piles of our clothes. One with ones we can leave in Oxford till November and the other one which we must take with us. Of course this task was a lot harder for me than for Mark. Ehhhh. Finally, we ended up with 2 check in bags which weighted together 55 kilos. The hand bags I think it’s safe to say weighted about 20 kilos each. I barely could lift mine up . I was so happy that all of this bags had wheels
But the problem arouse when we came to the plane. I was thinking how on earth I will put this bag in the cabinet above my head. I decided to ask the steward in a plane. I made eyes like cat from Shrek and asked if he could help me and put the bag in the cabinet. He said of course, looking at the bag and probably thinking it can’t be heavy since it’s quite small.  I was rescued and he was screwed ;P He lifted the bag looked at me and said: ‘Dear God. Girl what are you carrying in there?!  Stones?! You have probably packed whole your apartment inside.’ I didn’t say anything since there was no point. After all the bag was where I wanted it to be
