We flew to Washington very late in December for Christmas with the family. Our reason for not going until December 22? So that we could stay our normal two weeks then fly to Los Angeles to take a 15-day Panama Canal cruise back to Florida in January. We’d be away from Florida for a month total.

Packing for Christmas, winter, and the tropics did not result in carry-on bags only. 🙂
