Just saw my son and his family off to return to SC. Limo picked them up
at 6am for a 9:45 flight out of Boston.

His family consists of him, his wife, an 18 year old daughter in
college, a 16 year old daughter who will soon be ready for college and
twins, a boy and a girl aged 6. I've been teasing my son that when
the twins graduate from high school he'll be a year shy of 60. College
for four kids and weddings for three daughters. All he says is, "Yup,
I am screwed".

Flying out of Boston the day before the forth of July is going to be
an experience, I am sure.

I was laughing as they were loading up the limo with luggage.
My son had one small overnight bag. The two older girls and his
wife had enough luggage to last several months plus another rolling
suitcase for the twin's "stuff". The limo driver said he may have
to send for another car.

Good luck to them. Glad I don't do that stuff anymore.



My youngest was here with 3 of my 4 granddaughters. 1,8,10 years old.
They were on their way north on vacation so one night here, and got to wish
grandma happy birthday on Sunday. They don’t pack as much stuff, but a
lot. Funniest packing story was we were at Checkin in Munich after a
month in Europe. 2 carry on, 2 large bags. Talking to the couple next
to us in line and they had a trolley with 7 huge bags. Asked how long
they had been here. A week at the Holiday Inn.
