Yes, we think now that we need to remove some clothes from our suitcases in order to bring back souvenirs. We thought we maybe had enough space but ….well….maybe not. So in the morning we are going to open up the cases and see what we can leave at home. I hope to bring clogs, windmill and Van Gogh items ….

That is probably a good idea. The older I get the less I buy souvenirs, but I’ve never been to Amsterdam. I’d definitely want souvenirs from there!

You'd have to smoke all your "souvenirs" before you could board the plane, though.

I've never flown commercially and we can always stuff more "junk" into the car when we go on vacation so we don't worry about it. I can see how it might be a problem, if you're flying, though.

It’s been a couple of years since we last flew and they have changed things. You used to get some luggage included in the price ….now everything is separate ….and of course it works out more money !

@Traceyjayne Oh, I'm sure... You could just take empty bags and wear the same clothes for a week. I'm sure nobody would question that! I have flown in a private single-engine plane and on a helicopter.

It's always nice to have room for a few souvenirs.

I used to buy magnets for souvenirs...small and relatively inexpensive. I have about 100. My SIL and BIL used to travel a lot and get me some too. Your Van Gogh items sounds interesting.
