A WEIGHTY ISSUE....

Well we are in the new, very snazzy Bangkok Airport at the moment waiting for a connecting flight to Samui. Everything (so far) has been going well except we were shocked and horrified to get our hand luggage weighed!! Now any flyer knows that you stuff your hand luggage with all the heavy stuff so you don't go overweight right? Well, we had to re-arrange, check in extra bags so we would make the weight limit. Which for Thai Airlines (very good airline, lots of leg room) is 7 kg for hand luggage and 30 kg for check in. So with all Dazza's snowboarding gear meant that we came in at 62 kg and two 7 kg carry on bags. Which is fine except that Luftansa, which is taking us to Paris only allows 20 kg check in each (40kg in total). So somehow, in the next 12 days we have to eliminate 22 kg of weight. And excess baggage is $50 a kilo so that's not really an option. Any ideas???
