We had no issues with our flights. 2. It was 73 degrees, sunny and breezy every. single. day. 3. We didn’t check any bags! I did it guys, with only carry-ons. MARSEILLE.

Natural Glam. Vacation Edition.
T – 3 days before our flight and I’m trying to get my beauty appointments out of the way so I can stay up until 3am packing last minute for a 6:30 am flight.
