Pollyana Cowgirl

Help

Help.

1) If the airline stipulates that my baggage allowance (check in) is 30kg, does it matter if the 30kg is made up of 2 boxes, one luggage and one sports bag? Will I be taking up too much space?
2) But really... who is going to believe me when I say the above mentioned boxes, luggage and sports bag will just tip the scales at 30.0kg?
3) Contingency plan -- Look really sweet and plead for that bit more allowance. If that fails, try saying.. 'I am an educator, seeking to educate the minds of future generation... What is in the luggage and boxes? Books... notes... books... notes.' Oh yes, real smart Pollyana Cowgirl.
4) Do I really, really... really really really need my pillow? Ok, it is not just a pillow. It is an almost flattened cotton filled rectangular thing that serves to raise my head to a specific 10 degrees tilt (yes... I get specific when I am nearing hysteria) so that I can sleep. It really needs a bath, perhaps a makeover too. Question is, to bring or not to bring?
5) Why. Tell me why why why... Why is it that just as I am preparing to leave for J-Land... the modes of transportation in the country decide to well... disintegrate. Let me see, 3 ferries have sunk into the deep ocean bed... good for the growth of corals. A plane went missing and the wreckage found in some hinterland... good for boosting confidence in the country's national carrier. All in the span of a few days.
6) If the parents ever decide to read this blog... this is for both of you:
'Hello... hello... Mummy and Papa... and NO... for the last time, I really do not need a heavy padlock, tea bags, a huge bottle of cough mixture, 2 towels and that and this and that and this...'
7) I am not done packing. Help.
