Things to watch on Crossland Chronicles

What a spring we have before us here at the Crosslands - lots to talk and write about.

But first, some pics from the park.  These kids are pretty danged cute - danged, what a great Texas word.

 I love taking them there on the weekends and torturing them with the camera.  Hahahahahahahahah!

So, my newest obsession is a trip to Ireland with my Mom, sister, and brother in May.  While I was in search of some new luggage for this excursion, I stumbled upon more than one website that toted the idea of no checked luggage for international travel.  One of the writers even said, "There are only two kinds of luggage in international travel - the one you carry on, and the one they lose."  So, in an attempt to try out this one carry on bag for a week concept, I started looking at the kinds of bags that would provide me a good experience in trying this, and I fell into a bunch of websites that talk about "one bag" travel.

And, I am hooked.  Hook, line, and sinker.  So, , I am making this trip with ONE CARRY ON BAG.

I will do my best to chronicle the progress here - these websites have so much information on how to do this - and I am excited for the challenge.  More to come about this adventure - stay tuned!
