Faire les valises (packing :)

“US Airways will transport:
• 1 checked bag free of charge, and
• 1 bag as a carry-on
And a second checked bag will be assessed a $25* fee. The new fee applies to travel on or after May 5 for tickets purchased on or after February 26, 2008."

This is not good news. I am going away for nine months and it will be too expensive to buy all the necessities in France because the dollar is so weak right now (en ce moment, 1USD=0.65EUR).

I have everything in a pile of what I want to take, but come Sunday there will be a pile of what I couldn't take when I have to squash it all into one or two bags weighing 50 lbs each :( Quel dommage!
