So if I were taking just my stuff, I’d fit perfectly under the 50lb weight limit for check-in baggage (probably about 40lbs). But no, since the organization is requiring us to take over the workbooks, and is not allowing us to put all the workbooks in one bag and pay for the extra bag ($25) out of the budget, we have to fit all the workbooks in our bags. And it’s making me go over the limit. Therefore I’m leaving behind a jar of green chile (woe!), a thing of body wash (don’t worry..I’ve got another), 4 shirts (so far) and a small thing of listerine. I will also jam 5 books into my carry-on…which is going to be a pain. I think I’m still 5lbs over even with doing all that.
Ugh.
