May 29, 2009 Cool in Switzerland
After four flights (including a re-route through Heathrow, got to see T5 for the first time) we are in Switzerland at a beautiful moutain hotel. Thankfully this hotel has a nice big sink in my room which is about to receive the clothing I’ve been wearing for 36 hours. So far so good. My wife’s checked bag was mishandled so she’s roughing it until tomorrow (she knows better). I can say that 9 pounds on one shoulder and 5 on the other is a delight even if you have to queue for 20 minutes. My personal comfort level is exceeded at much over 15 pounds - the magic number.

Wow, great pic! I've never seen polka dot luggage before.
Nice to see some colourful luggage being used! Love the animal print ones.
They really didn't read the article i.e. get the memo about how to avoid looking like an American. ROTFL!
Brad could go through for French, though. Perhaps also a British prof or something else anglo. Not German. They often have no taste. I can usually spot Germans ten miles against the wind. Not Italian, either. They have a very particular style that is easily recognized. They'd rather wear a shirt, a pair of pants (chinos or jeans mostly) and a pullover over their shoulders. Rarely a jacket but more often than Germans. You'll see when you hit those countries.
