Theoretically we are sending Aaron off to Israel in just over a month.
This is very theoretical.
First, we have to get him packed.
This may not seem like a first to you, but that is because you have not recently experienced international air travel.
Aaron is allowed 50 lbs as his luggage.
His one piece of oversized luggage unpacked, empty weighs about 7 lbs.
Into this bag we need to fit a second pair of shoes, a set of sheets and towels, a flashing smoke alarm, a vibrating alarm clock, a case of hearing aid batteries, his allergy medicine, his hearing aid dehumidifier and care kit, his FM system for his hearing aids, lots of pants, and shirts, and pajamas, and undershirts and socks.
I took one look at the pile on his bed and yelped-, “Aaron, we have to buy you new underwear!”
“Why? There is nothing wrong with these.”
Except that the elastic on them was visibly worn out from 15 feet away in a not very well lit room.
In addition to the one piece of luggage, Aaron can bring a carry on that must fit a certain group of size restrictions. Since he will be flying on two airlines- American and El AL, we need to pay careful attention to both.
His carry-on is already spoken for. He will have, his cell phone, his laptop, his tefillin, and a clean pair of underwear for emergencies. He will also have several books, all of which weigh too much to be put in the checked luggage.
I have made a list of several essential items that he needs to take that we need to buy.
Underwear,
Underwear,
Underwear,
A smaller shrek doll.
