(And it has no bearing on my own packing habits at all!) :-) I actually had a line with the cabbie complaining about the amount, and her defending it ("It's a cruise! I need clothes for two formal nights...shoes...makeup!"), but I cut it for length.Leah St. Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738532052396774131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-46889177637901662662017-12-19T10:41:34.623-05:002017-12-19T10:41:34.623-05:00She brought too much luggage for a weeklong cruise...She brought too much luggage for a weeklong cruise (says the woman who takes one carryon and a backpack for a two-month journey). But this only shows your heroine is new at travel and new at being out on her own. I liked the suitcase as beached whale line...perfect! Great job at setting up the scene and making us want to know who hurt our kind, helpful hero.Rolynn Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504770204968969467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-79020989603511252592017-12-19T09:58:50.422-05:002017-12-19T09:58:50.422-05:00Yay!
