The lines start here. Even the TSA pre-check lines are interminable on busy weekends, and school is not even out. I always carry on and then check at the gate, why pay the extra baggage fees? (Trust me, I know the fact that we all do this now has stretched TSA to the max, since the airlines have essentially shifted the cost to handle all those previously checked bags to carry-ons) But still, I cannot pay that fee. I can pay for 8 lattes in a week, but I cannot pay that fee.
You girls who use the shampoo, lotion and soap from the hotel, whatevs, this post is not for you. Â I have to carryon my favorite brands wherever I go. I am a slave to marketing, bells, whistles and pricey packaging.
So, I need good stuff in good travel sizes. And where does a good girl go for good stuff? NM, of course.
