Doesn't sound that bad, isn't it ? Well, let me tell you parents are never appreciative of that but they are too nice to say it to your face. So when you hear your mother groaning silently, that's your first cue....
2. Two words - Ryan air !
Be careful with cheap flights that charge you for everything starting from online check-in option to check-in luggages. If you are trying to be smart in saving money by just paying for one check-in luggage hoping you can dump everything in one suitcase, you cannot be more wrong ! 15 kg check-in luggage and 10 kg cabin baggage each is their rule. (Don't be careless about it and do weigh before reaching the airport cause they are quite strict about it, otherwise
be ready to pay 160 dkk/kg).3. A mistake made is a mistake made. :-(
Never rectify your mistake by buying another bag during the trip thinking you can stuff all your souvenirs and used clothes in it and push it off at the security as another cabin baggage (thinking afterall 10 kg cabin baggage is allowed). Well, you are most likely to get caught while boarding even if you make it past the security check. Unless you make a sorry face and a kind airhostess pitying you labels your bag as 'improperly packed' and takes it as a check-in luggage, there is no way out but to miss the flight and start all ove
r again- going through the tormenting procedures of checking in the baggages, passing through the security check and ofcourse buying new tickets ;-). So even if your bag isn't more than 10 kg, there is a size limit and believe me a bag of the 'allowed' size declared by Ryan air cannot be useful for anything. Better plan for more than one 
check-in baggage at the start of the trip.Nevertheless, it was a wonderful trip and a great way to start the year -thinking ' I actually walked on the same road as Caeser trodded' !!
Moral of the story: Even if you have traveled a zillion times before, sometimes somethings are bound to go wrong and your worst fears can come true ! ;-)
