leave your clothes behind for the next trip then load up your suitcase full of fabric.

I ended up getting an additional suit case, but only brought 1 with me so I didn't have to pay for the additional luggage coming back....the trick was getting it under the allowable poundage allowance ....don't ya just love it

Quit a few years ago my dad went on vacation . Brought back frozen fish and had his clothes sent home by mail.We still laugh about that. Thats sounds like a good plan. That way you have your fabric with you

I have been known to go on trips with my clothes packed in a smaller bag that will nest inside a larger bag so I could have an empty bag for purchases. Or you can always go to walmart and buy a cheap duffle bag to transport the fabric.

When I travel I always pack cloths that I was planning on donating, but instead donate them in the city I visit that way you have more luggage space for fabric & other items you want to bring back & you don't have to lug home dirty cloths to wash. You can wash all your new fabric!!!!!!

I did that once.
Throw everything out of suit case
that you do not need.

Oh this is so easy - simply WEAR ALL of the clothes you want to keep and pack up the suitcase....

After a visit to M&L you will never be the same again!!!! Decide right now, this very minute that you are mailing a big box home. Then, return to M&L! LOL I have taken guests from all over the world and mailed many boxes!
Enjoy!

my last trip to Orlando, I went to Stein mart and bought two large pieces of Bill Blass hard side luggage in TURQUIOSE - usually about $150-$200 each. Wonderful Stein Mart had them for $90 total!!! I was able to bring home many yards from an estate sale in the Bay Hill neighborhood!! That's where Shaq lives!! I just love my florida jaunts!!
