Excess Baggage on Singapore Airlines

[georoc01]

Well, I weighed my rolling backpack and all by itself, it is 7 lbs!! I am going to look at a lighter weight one tonight. I keep my reg and camera stuff in there so I want to keep it with me. My personal item is my laptop case, so I can't take my reg bag out.

Ebags.com has a section for light bags. I dropped 5 lbs off my bag by going to a lighter one. They have carry ons as well as larger bags.

Ellen...I have one of those wonderful Akona rolling bags 12lbs....not so wonderful anymore....pulled out an old Aqua lung roller that weighed 6.5 lbs. I'm lucky I fly up front on Singapore so I can take pretty much what ever I want and Silk will honor the Singapore allowances. But those Indonesian airlines...I learned last year...prepare to pay and listen to them give you a hassle....This year I've been using my old Aqua Lung bag...bringing no redundancy, tool kit, wine etc etc.

Crap. Too late for me now. I'm leaving tomm. I might go to Target tonight to see if I can find a lighter weight one.

I bought one last night that the woman said was light weight and it was just as heavy as the one I already had!!

We are staying at Lembeh Resort. We chose that over Kasawari because it had unlimited shore diving.

Lembeh resort is great....Ronald, Abner were my dive guides LY they were great. What dates will you be there? I'll be there the second week of Oct.

Oct. 12-15. I wanted to stay longer but I'm already gone over 3 weeks from work. And that's the way the flights worked out. BTW, I'm paying for this myself.
