concerning the no change in weight on the plane, I witnessed something similar one bag over weight so she transferred some stuff into the bag of the other woman travelling with her and both passed the second check. However it is true that lifting those bags into the cabin allowed space this...

Had my very first Australian coffee in one of those the day I arrived in Australia. Mug ok though would have preferred a cup, but then the beverage was not real coffee, more brownish coloured water :ROFLMAO: . Looked around coffee shops and located a"n impressive "gleaming red expresso...

yes found a cup warmer (in the shape of a cat ;) ) 2 years ago. Used it for the last 2 winters for coffee, infusions and soup....So I presume the one fromKmart would do the same job

Her reply "my mother most probably could tell you more about that wine than you know" :ROFLMAO: How...
