*100 pounds in a duffle is amazing. I didn't take a 100 pounds for three weeks in Costa Rica. I travel with an ancient back pack. I take extra shorts, a pair of pants, underwear, two or three t-shirts, a shirt, a jacket, a flashlight (teeny) some socks, and toilet articles, a knife, all which

I think the weight was estimated. 100Lbs is quite heavy or maybe David is funding the trip hustling a little product, always in demand at the convention! Check into Alegiant airlines, $75 should get you close.

David, you could have flown on southwest and camped for less than you are probably going to end up paying now- if you plan ahead. But it seems you hate that. Btw, you can also cancel flights on SW with no penalty and then rebook for the next year's convention if plans get screwy. Just saying.

The stars seemed to have aligned for me tomorrow, for the first time in 3 years. It appears that I am going to embark on another Craigslist misadventure in the morning. This will be my first such misadventure where I am the passenger - if you don't count all the years that I spent hitch-hiking.
