A Whole Lotta Baggage

michelin-manWhen we booked our flight to Boracay, we decided to opt for the “no check-in luggage” option, which ultimately saved us about P800 from the total fare. After all, how heavy can beachwear get?

I just found out, however, that we’re only entitled to bring 5 kilos’ worth of carry-on luggage each. That’s only about 5 bags of sugar! Though I’m not bringing sugar with me because I’m sure there are condiments aplenty in Boracay, I still wonder if 5 kilos is going to be enough for two bikini changes a day, party wear, and sexy lingerie (hey, it’s my honeymoon!) . . . not to mention footwear, books, and whatever, umm, accessories I might think of lugging along with me to the beach.

I wonder if I can get away with wearing half my wardrobe on the plane without looking like the Michelin Man. Surely they’ll weigh my bags, not me!
