we are talking about going for a week (7 nights). i mean i realize we don't need suits or formal attire but a few swimsuits, shorts, bras, tshirts, underwear, socks, sundresses, sunscreen and toiletries, shoes and a netbook must exceed it.
How strict the weight limit is enforced varies with flight conditions that day (wind, temperature and weight of pax being carried). When enforced there is no extra payment -- the excess weight is left behind (or you can choose to try for a different flight, or buy an extra pax ticket). It isn't a revenue measure, but safety related. You don't need most of the things you mentioned!!!! Or can buy them at Bora Bora (for a very high price).
