two down

two to goTeen Too is a minimal packer and knows that even tho he's already a couple of inches taller than his father - also a minimal packer - his father is the caring, sharing type - between them they could barely fill a matchbox. . . . . .but both always look immaculately turned out

on the other hand, we have Mini-Teen (almost 13 years old, going on 25) who trekked off to her father's with a suitcase full enough to comfortably style an entire Africa nation(she had selected enough outfits to clothe the entire continent of Africa thru winter/fall 2011 and spring summer 2012, but I made her leave some items behind); I waved them a bit of a sad goodbye, as I won't see them for two weeks - but they are going on a lovely hol to a simply divine hotel with their father and I know they will be well taken care of and that they are going to have a brilliant time. . .

I, on the other hand, am off on a holiday of the self-catering nature so only need to pack a few essentials. . .
(it would be easier to take the whole house,
but one just can't find the staff these days)
talking of staff, The Teen's gentleman's gentleman was not impressed with his packing but did approve of the luggage

(yeay! I'll be able to blog from the beach!!)
