Packing for the U.S.

Another reason I believe I've become more of a Trini:  In packing for a short trip to the U.S., I'm surprised to find my carry-on case is...EMPTY!!  I have my electronics in my largish purse, no liquids to worry about, so...

In truth, any trip to the U.S. for someone who only goes once every 2-3 years is mostly about shopping. Therefore, pack light, buy heavy, ship most of it home.

I stay at places with free laundry, so I only need a few days of clothes at most. And I'll be buying more, as they fit and last better than clothes here in Trinidad. (All styled for younger tastes, made quickly of inferior fabrics, and often start fading or falling apart in a year or so.)

So, off I go...they will be quite surprised when they inspect it, won't they???
