So I managed to get to Paris. The fact that I was able to fit 3 weather camping gear for 2, gifts for my entire family (including a down comforter) and clothes for a month in Europe in 2 suit cases is the achievement of packing technology. Vacuum bags, stuff bags, mesh bags you name it; my personal favorite is vacuuming followed by a combo computer/camera bag from Lowepro (a neat trick to avoid the 2 item carry-on limit).
Do you know that your check-in bags even when overweight cannot weigh more then 70lbs; this meant that I had to adjust some luggage at the check-in counter, at-least I didn't have to pay 40 euros a kg. Btw, those scales from AAA to weigh the luggage do not work.

Why do I Safar
Safar means "Journey" in Urdu and other languages from the Indian Subcontinent.
Safar (صفر) is also the second month in the Islamic calendar. Safar literally means ‘the void month’. The origin of this word is that when the pagan Arabs went on their looting expeditions they would leave their houses empty or ‘sifr’ meaning void.
