Why you cheeky monkeys! I told you, this is a family blog! My dad reads m blog, hi Daddy!

So, today, I fulfilled a fantasy…I’m a simple girl, this is a a simple fantasy…I got on a plane with nothing more than a purse, yes, I said a purse, that’s another story for another day.

Let me ‘splain, no there is too much, let me sum up. (I hope you got the reference, I know my movie buff friends did , but for those of you who didn’t get it, it’s from The Princess Bride, ahh…you know, “Hello, my name is Indigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die, I could go on!)

I travel a bit, not as much as some, more than others, well, that’s what i have been told anyway! A lot of times I am traveling for work and when I’m not, I’m usually working remotely, so, what do I take with me? My laptop…who in the world of computers, software, sales, etc. doesn’t take their laptop with them?

So, I normally have my laptop bag with me and it’s heavy. I also take what was original a canvas lunch bag and put a few things in it so I can put my knapsack in the overhead, and put the lunch bag under the seat in front of me. It usually has my iPad, book, phone, maybe a cross stitch I’m working on. Well, the idea of going through security with nothing more than maybe a little bag, even just a book and/or my iPad, not having to take everything out and put it on the conveyor and maybe getting through quickly and without sweating carrying the backpack to the gate has been something I have thought about for a long time, but not something I could ever do.

I am going to Atlanta for the weekend for a race, go figure, and best of all, to see my friends, I’m going to be there barely 48 hours, don’t need my laptop have my iPad! I need something to blog on! (Yes I could use my phone, but much easier on a big screen).

Don’t laugh, but I checked a bag, here’s the sad part, there is a duffle inside my huge duffle. There are about 5 items of clothes for the weekend in there and in the inner duffle…my mud run kit, extra clothes sneakers, towel, bags, crazy.

Bottom line is…my fine friends, today I did it! Yeah me! Fantasy fulfilled!

Wait, how sad is my existence when one of my fantasies is to take a flight with nothing more than just a bag/purse? Ah who cares? It’s my fantasy!

(I hope you’re totally laughing at the end of this, because I am and I know you can hear my voice in your heads! Muwahaha)
