looking at the current pile , it is at about 50lbs . I am thinking of bringing an extra bag or two on the trip down , and begging the airline to wave the bag fees . we will likely fly airtran out of BWI and I am going to contact them before our trip to ask to have the fees waved . not sure if this will happen but it does not cost anything to ask . books are mostly reading material , plus a couple of teaching guides that mom used . will pickup the other supplies from local stores during the back to school sales next month . this has been on my mind since our last trip this past feb .
