Checked Bags

This is what I found in my in-box this morning:

"Save time and money when you check in online. Beginning July 9, 2009, you'll be able to pay for checked bags when you check in online – $15 for your first checked bag and $25 for your second. For customers who choose to pay for checked bags at the airport, there will be an additional $5 service fee, so save a few when you check in online"

After I let out a huge laugh, I became a bit angry.

HA! I know. it totally sucks. what they don't tell you, is if your bag is over a certain weight limit, that $15 jumps up to $50!! :(

Wow, I didn't even no that there was a checked bag fee. I've travelled for so long now with just carry on. Poo.

Yup. I hate this. First time we had to do it was last October when the hubby and I went to New Orleans. Our bag was 48 pounds when we checked it, so we had to be super careful about what we bought.
The golf clubs now stay home.

Peaceful greetings from Jamaica.

We are notorious for over weight baggage at airports. I've been at American airports headed home and watched some of my sistren putting on several pair of pants, two skirts and three blouses just to get the suitcase weight down to 49.75 pounds. They may have looked chaka chaka (messy) but they didn't pay overweight baggage charges! You do what you gotta do!

Bless Up,

The Tacky Earring Blog Hop

Diana Ptaszynski had a great idea, instead of a Tacky Christmas Sweater blog hop, a Tacky Holiday Earring blog hop! I was on it.  I had ideas right away.  I had so many I had to control myself.  You can buy these for $15 each, too!  Here we go! I found these awesome wreaths in the miniature Christmas section in Michaels, and they go perfectly with silver and copper colored plastic beads! These trees were found in Michaels, on an end-cap - I assume they are scrapbook or card making supplies, but make fantastic earrings.  The holes were a little small and far down, so I had to make LARGE loops.  Paired these with cute little gold colored jingle bells! And, finally, the ones I had in my head the moment she announced the blog hop.  Dr. Seuss sparkly puff balls with ribbons.  The only thing that would have made these better for me is if I could have found the red ribbons I really wanted to pair these with - don't get me wrong, the silver is cool and all, but in my head they w
