On any trip Paula usually qualifies as the perfect packer. She has the smallest bag, smallest bottles for her cosmetics, cutest outfits, never lugs around something she doesn’t need and doesn’t forget things she does need. This trip she will remember as a pimple on her packing perfection (can you tell I making my students say tongue twisters to improve their English – except they are great with the ‘p’ they have trouble with the th, r, l, dr, and v’s). Anyway, this trip she brought 3 pairs of heavy shoes, which was 1 or 2 more than she needed. The funniest item she forgot was her bra. She doesn’t wear one on planes and there were none in her suitcase so when she did her ‘buck dancing’ for the students in English Corner it was very entertaining. Maria has a video of her dancing and we plan to use it for blackmailing purposes.
