Dorlee, I might just have to.

In addition to everything else I mentioned, the UIG forgot a pair of heavy shoes and some other things here when she visited earlier this month. They are packed in my bag, too.

In my roller bag, I have my laptop -- which is one of the heavy old IBM Thinkpads.

The big problem, however, is the time of my flight out. I leave at 1 am, meaning I have to be at the airport at 10 pm (Israeli security takes a while).
I can't stroll around Tel Aviv all day with these two suitcases and have no place to leave them -- that means I can't fly down there earlier in the day.

I also don't feel like asking anybody to drive 2 1/2 hours each way to take me to the airport. I could take a taxi but that comes to about $150 from my house.

That means I have to take a train there. Loads of fun as the train station requires you to walk down one set of stairs, go across the tracks, and then walk up a second set -- carrying these suitcases with me.

I then have to switch trains in Tel Aviv, lugging these bags. Hopefully, when I get to the airport I will be able to put them on a cart and not carry them up still another flight of stairs.
