Blasted airlines, always making it tougher!

If it's the 8th, it'll be without me. No way I can be there then. We'll just meet up for lunch one day.

I was half joking at picking a date already, but you said you arrive on February 7th?

Yes.

And the problem...??

 

[CajunDiva]

There's no problem. Do what you need to do. I just won't be there on the 8th...

And the problem...??

She’s playing hard to get or her body guards don’t arrive until the 8th

And is entertaining a group of 10 and that's our first evening together. Sorry, but my clients take priority even over @DandyDon

Hard to get...yes. DD already tried, and my husband was very patient with him . Plus, said husband understands that if you want my company, you invite me...don't tell me when to show up

I'm trying to imagine why, going to a warm place to dive, you need two checked bags plus a roll-on and a backpack. I take all of my dive gear, minus weights and tanks, and everything else for the trip in one checked bag that weighs 40lbs. A carry-on holds gear not easily replaced on a trip: reg set, prescription mask, computer, camera, etc.
Maybe I'm missing some special needs stuff you carry, but if you are concerned about economy costs, leave a checked bag at home.

My 2nd checked bag is usually full of stuff I bring down for friends/family that they can't easily or cheaply buy. On the return trip, it's full of gifts/glassware/hot sauce/liquor/etc.

To each his own. Traveling light is not in my vocabulary, either.

Good reason

Heck, I'm not traveling light, at least compared to a couple of people I know who carry their gear and everything else in carry-on
I do sometimes wonder how some people get away with carrying what really amounts to two carry-ons that in total would hold more than what is in my checked bag

If you travel with a serious underwater photographer, you will definitely wonder how they do it!
