So... we were all excited... got to the airport... and promptly went to the check-in counters.
It could have been the exhilaration from knowing that our honeymoon is about to start, or just the simple lack of coffee (otherwise known as cold turkey).
Check-in should have been a simple uneventful affair... hand over your passports... show your air tickets... and request for the type of seats you wish to have... and hand the crew your check-in luggages... and voila... end of the process... time to proceed to the gate... and be whisked off to the start of a 5-week long adventure of a life-time.
But NOOOOO... STUPID ME... with my smart alecky big mouth... had to ask the ground crew how much baggage allowance THE WIFE and I have for our trips.
*tapperty tapperty tap* (and 5 seconds later)...
Ground Crew: " Mr Wong, you and your wife are allowed 2 check-in baggages EACH... and the weight allowance is 64 kgs per person"
"Your current baggage weighs only 38 plus kgs. Basically, you have another 3/4 to go for your return leg."
(ALL THESE WITHIN THE EARSHOT OF THE WIFE!!!)
Sigh...
Next thing I know... THE WIFE's face lit up... (*Evil Grin and all followed*)
WIFE TO ME: "WOW... think of the amount of shopping... a whole 90 kgs worth of it... and we can each buy another luggage to carry it all back!!!"
DOUBLE SIGH...
(NOTE TO SELF - NEVER BE A BIG MOUTH AND ASK.... "so, how much baggage allowance do we get" - at least... not at the part when you are only juz checking in to GO ON THE TRIP... ALWAYS ASK ONLY AT THE POINT WHEN YOU ARE RETURNING!")
4 BAGS... for 5 weeks... its gonna be a work-out carrying the bags...
(STUPID BIG MOUTH.... :) )
And so... the HONEYMOON STARTS!!!

P.S: As the picture above shows, we travelled with only 3 bags (2 if you discount the small cabin carry-on which is really tiny anyway). Unlikely that W will have too much of a workout from carrying the bags.
