I prefer a simple ballistic nylon Tumi that only holds 4 credit cards and a drivers’ license in the middle. I’ve used a monogrammed silver billfold from Tiffany since I graduated.
Fortunately, my primary care physician treats me like a concierge doc, so no need for the extra expense now. He’s also in his 30’s, so should be around a lot longer.
I’m excited to hear that you’re both starting a fitness program. We’re all here for you. I’m looking forward to you two joining @azdr0710 and us for hikes at the next PS gathering.
HAHA! I've never shipped a pair of boots overseas (not yet). You'd be surprised how much you can pack into a Rimowa carry-on and a carry-on backpack, esp. if you use cubes. I take two pairs of shoes (wearing one pair) 2 jeans, 2 shorts, 7 underwear and shirts and a rain jacket. Staying at AirBnb means I can wash my stuff regularly. I hate checking bags.
My GE interview took less than 10 minutes and was uneventful. I’ve never had bad experiences with long pre-check lines in my two airports. GE is great for international. I can be from my biz class seat to the train in under 10 minutes. I always carry on, even on month-long trips, so I’ve eliminated that stress point from my travels. Staying at Airbnb overseas makes laundry a snap.
