Packing is a challenge. Now that you can only take one checked bag and one carry-on all totalling 50lbs I am really having to prioritize and plan with my packing. Added to the challenge is the need for empty space to fill with treasures from Israel. I'm hoping to find a really meaningful piece of art. On one of my trips to Chattanooga, I got to spend some time at Kay Arthur's home. She had some amazing artwork from Israel. I'm hoping she'll give me the inside info on where to shop.
A tip on souvenirs: Long ago I decided souvenirs are important but need to be manageable when travelling. So, I began making my souvenir from our travels a Christmas ornament from the place visited. It works! Now when we decorate the Christmas tree each year it is a fun walk down memory lane. It's beautiful, meaningful, and unique. I'm for sure getting an ornament!
