Kalkan Cases

My holdall is down...so far it contains a cat!!

Three more sleeps for us.  Baggage / luggage is proving much more difficult for us this year as our new granddaughter (7 months) is coming and you know how much paraphenalia babies need! 
We have 100kg between six of us for one week.  Just hoping it's enough - if not I will restrict OH to one pair of shorts and a shirt!

I have found hand held scales invaluable for checking the weight of the luggage in advance.  On the day before travelling hopefully packing is completed and cases weighed.   Time then to adjust - hopefully space to sneak in just one more thing.......  I try not to go to the complete limit as the airport scales are likely to be slightly different to mine but it does give me a little feeling of security.

BL, the cat was looking for the spider...

We take our cases to a closed check-in desk at the airport and test out the weight on those as soon as we arrive - then if neccessary a bit of a decanting job is undertaken, pretty sharpish.

stigred, never mind 2 more sleeps, get packing!!

    All done! I travel light...very unusual for a female i know!! I take more medicines than clothes ... oh and my own pillow, so that isnt in the case yet!
2 more sleeps

Stigred, that made me smile.   I have more medicines than clothes also.   And do like my own pillow.   What is it about pillows?   The silly thing about taking medicines is that apart from really important prescription things you can get things in Kalkan quickly and easily, sometimes simpler than in UK.  I still try to have as many things as are likely to be  needed in my case as I don't really want to spend the holiday at the pharmacy.   

To encourage anyone who may worry - as long as you know what you need the pharmacies in Kalkan are brilliant at either having things or obtaining them quickly.   That is certainly our experience.

Can't say I travel light though.   See previous posts of mine - my case includes an electric chopper, recommended by Delia originally and since then by Antler etc etc on this forum. 
And the chopper is just the tip of the iceberg.

well done stigred. How I envy people who can pack light....I'm a kitchen sink girl But I don't take a pillow...there wouldn't be room and I can't think what I'd leave out...
