Ross is (as is the rest of the family) LESS than thrilled to have LEGO on vacation, but I LOVE IT:-)

Anyone else crazy enough to sort on vacation?

(...) 50 pounds? The airlines didn't charge you extra to ship? Or did you drive? I think in some states, sorting Lego on vacation is grounds for divorce... :) --Mike. (19 years ago, 17-Apr-06, to lugnet.general, lugnet.people, lugnet.storage, FTX)
