Whether it's freezing, boiling, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes or droughts .. the weather is BIG!

That's about the way to look at it. We travel with 2 cases, the second one containing 2 large sports bags. We come home with 4 heavy bags every time

Absolutely, and wherever you go they're well-maintained and interesting. I have been to three utterly amazing [and different] museums ... National Marine Corps at Quantico 10/10, Smithsonian Aerospace 9/10 and National Rifle Association 8/10, and all IMO World leaders in their field.
