ahh peeps what a wonderful trip. BUT i do NOT want to buy anything else. especially alcohol. NO RUM JUMBIE and NO GUAVABERRY. nooooo. i already cant imagine what they will chargee at sirport for my bag. its big.

well,, I was overweight. kindly the airline workers suggested I buy a second bag. I had one packed and transferred stuff right at the counter. $40 to check 2nd bag. it would have been $100 for overweight bag. and I didn't get any more alcohol.

This from a woman..I pack several bathing suits, shirts, pants and shorts. all quietly goes rolled into my carry on. My quart bag of liquids and kindle go in my purse. This is what I take for a 3 week stay. I could check my little bag and carry lots of Rum Jumbie and Guavaberry boxed...... just sayin.

And buying the extra bag was how much?

OP said he had one packed....I assume a duffel of some sort?

YEAH. I needed the bigger one on the trip down to hold necessities 'just in case' and I had a smaller, insulated one packed for beach stuff. I wanted to take the smaller one home so I packed the bigger, empty one. As it turns out, the bigger, empty one when it was in use was fine. I had such a big main suitcase with me, the 2nd one didn't knock it off its wheels. all worked great..
