When we fly anyplace, my DH tells me the same thing. He says that it's not worth my time, worry, and effort to try to stay within weight limits ... just to pay the extra and take (within reason) whatever I wish ....

LuLu, I was semi-serious semi-joking. Our last trip I put most of my shirts into the garment bag and payed the extra bag fee. This freed up space in my suit case allowing room for my G/F to allow overflow from hers into mine. Worked perfect. The extra bag fee is less then over the limit fees... But I have just paid the stupid fees too, not worth the headaches.

Neal, also last trip, we used the Wii Fit. Not only did it yell at me for not using it in a while, but it also asked if I have been working out I guess cause the 45 pound bag is less than I was/am.

I am thinking about getting one of those hand scales, saw one in walmart for like 20 bucks, seems like it pays for itself as you can pack it and use it to make sure you did not buy too much stuff.
