Meanwhile, at home, we have been packing packing packing. I have been setting aside the
vacation underwear. My husband has been experimenting with the vacuum sealer; he thought it would help his long underwear take up less room in the duffle. Yeah, whatever. My theory of packing is that you use the long underwear to wrap around the oddly shaped and/or fragile things, instead of turning it into misshapen stiff blue boards.
I was indulgent though, for a time, in the interests of marital harmony. However, I was forced to confiscate the Foodsaver when he vacuum packed some clothespins.

Clothespins. Those Foodsaver bags cost about 40¢ a piece! I think the bag cost more than the contents.
This is going to be some trip.
A vacuum sealer. Now that's a new one on me. I like your husband's brain.
ReplyDeleteWe use compression sacks for all of our clothes--kind of a "human" vacuum sealer. They certainly save on space!
Is he taking the sealer along for the trip home? Sealing the clothspins is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI think he'll be lucky if he doesn't get vacuum-packed himself by the end of the trip. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou did go to the wine store, didn't you?
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! That is a serious packer.
