North of New York City is upstate and some of my best memories growing up were here.

If you saw the movie, Dirty Dancing, which took place at now-closed Grossinger\u2019s in the Catskills Mountains. It\u2019s a haven for people wanting to get away from New York City.

Nearby is Harriman State Park, where you can do some great sightseeing and hiking. It\u2019s all part of a bigger mountain region in Upstate New York, including parts of the Appalachian Trail and the Catskills area.

Today\u2019s Mistake- Overweight luggage

Flying with overweight luggage can get pricey. I arrived at the airport with luggage that was 5 pounds over the limit. I spent time re-arranging the items and moving some heavy items to my carry-on bag, putting on another layer of clothing, and then re-weighing the item. It took a few tries, but eventually, the luggage weight fit under the limit. I should have weighed the bag at home before getting to the airport and finding this out. Don\u2019t be like me. Weigh your bag first.\xa0
