Travelling light? Carry-on baggage: overseas travel

[PamNY]

Today a work colleague asked me if I use 1 carry-on luggage for any long vacations out of the country (ie. Europe, etc.) He was curious since his girlfriend was planning to check in her luggage. It includes for her to have 4 prs. of shoes during 3 wk. trip in Italy this fall.

Do you know this person very well? If not, there is something slightly "off" about him telling a colleague how many pairs of shoes his girlfriend is taking to Italy.

If he "wants the opinion of another woman", you probably should explain to him that people are individuals, and what other people pack is largely irrelevant.

Is he going on the trip as well? Does he seem like a "controlling" person?
