Down-size!

Ok I have a dilemma.....I am packing for a ten day trip to Minnesota to visit some friends and family, and on the plane I can take two large suitcases with a 50 pound max and one carry on as well as a purse or personal bag. So I started packing, only the necessities of course, and both big suit cases are jammed full. The dilemma is I have not even added my shoes yet. I know what you are thinking, surly you can squeeze a pair of shoes into your bag. A pair of shoes, yes, but 10 pairs, that might be a toughy. I absolutely cannot go anywhere without over packing. So I went through the suit case and tried to take out some things that I might not wear, this isn't so hard......But then I went through my closet and found ten more must haves!! How does a person do it. Is 100 pounds of clothes for 10 days a little excessive? One might say yes, but a girl has got to be prepared. For example if I want to go to the gym and I put on my pink jogging suit but all I have with me is my red runners...Yikes...That would be a fashion disaster. So of course I have to bring my runners in all three colors just in case. Did I mention this was a trip where shopping in the biggest mall in America is one of our top sight seeing locations. I am going to need a third suitcase just for the stuff I buy and have to hull home. Maybe I should just get my own private jet. Where did I put that winning lottery ticket???
