New kit for this year

I just KNEW that it'd be a blokey bloke who replied to that one and got it spectacularly WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dave, you take 14 pairs of knickers so that you change them when you have a shower before dinner and subsequentlty hit the town (or the village for us Niederau-ers!) Keep UP!!, you Philistine! Hope you like the pic of my boy. i have been on holiday with a bloke who announced, upon unpacking, that he'd brought only 4 briefs for a 7 night holiday ... he wore Monday's again on Friday. Eugggghhhh. We parted soon afterwards ... L.

I'm not a bloke and I take 3 pairs of all my stuff. I prefer to wash them though :D Can't be skiing in yesterdays thermals...noooo :shock:

Yes, definately 14 pairs of knickers, 1 pr for the day and another for dinner. Also 14 prs of socks, 7prs for under ski socks and 7 pairs for dinner. Does,nt every-one :lol:

Best that you avoid Ryanair as they don't give a very good luggage allowance, and always collect on the excess )

Oh I have excess luggage sorted, half my stuff goes in Hubby's case, he takes bare minimum. Plus I get on a plane looking like the michelin man, I wear so much stuff. Mind you I have been glad to have had so much stuff on a couple of times, twice there has been a backlog of passengers at Innsbruck and we have had to wait outside on the tarmac, I have been the only one who stays warm :lol:

Apparently not :lol: Some of the need for lots of clothes may be explained by the places folks are staying. Personally I don't feel the need to dress for dinner, as it's usually my own cooking, so I may not even bother with any of it :lol:

I admire the effort put in though :D

Rose, do you get your hubby to carry your bag?
Men have their uses apparently, though it's a fairly pricey solution for getting some suitcase space :mrgreen: Paying excess baggage would be cheaper I think!
I find airports horribly hot airless places, so would not do so well with your packing solution )

I wont need quite so much for next year, it will be the first time self catering, and the log cabin has washing machine and drying room, wheras usually hotel that requires dressing for dinner. So should not be so bad.
No hubby does not carry my case, his is always to heavy with half of my clothes as well.
