Pati and BeeBee are at Dulles International Airport, having been dropped off there by their daughter. They are traveling light for a five week trip, but they learned the hard way about the troubles of wrangling too much luggage. This time they determined to travel with only carry-on luggage. They streamlined what they would take and fit it into two small backpacks plus an electronics bag and a tote bag carrying mostly medications and jackets. Each backpack weighs about 15 pounds. Unfortunately, their economy status on Emirates required them to check their luggage. However, for only $700 they could have upgraded to business class and carried on their luggage. They are now waiting for their flight (after a "delicious" Dunkin' Donuts) breakfast. The flight has been delayed for at least 20 minutes, waiting for the incoming flight.
