well, i certainly don't want to buy an extra pax ticket (the tickets from PPT-BOB are expensive) or leave my stuff behind...so i guess i'll be sticking to the weight limits.
i'm not a crazy overpacker -and for beach vacations like this i usually refuse to be dressed at any point (i don't need even one 'fancy dinner' out) - so i'm sure i can do it. it's just going to require a higher level of mindfulness than usual.
