French Exchange Post Trip


Becca's Baggage Breakdown:
Chicago to Paris: 1 large suitcase (58 lbs)(Limit is 60 lbs) Carry Ons: one backpack, one purse, and one blanket
Paris to Marseille: See above

Marseille to Paris: 1 large suitcase (60 lbs) Carry Ons: one backpack, one large duffel bag, one purse, one blanket
Paris to Chicago: 1 large suitcase (60 lbs) Carry Ons: one backpack, one large duffel bag, one smaller bag, one purse, one blanket

How I acquired so much weight in 2 weeks is beyond me. I off loaded some of my carry ons to others who only had one item and somehow got everything through security and back home safely. And after all weight is not just physical. We came back with a lot more memories and life experiences the do not weigh us down but rather lift us up because for most of us, this was the experience of a lifetime. I realized how much french I have learned in the past 5 years and was shocked that I could speak only french for 10 straight days. I realized how much I love traveling and experiencing new and exciting things. Bisous ♥
