Adam and I are trying something new this year. We are shipping all of our clothes and ski/snowboarding equipment to Colorado a week before we fly out. United Airlines charges $25 for the 1st checked bag and $50 for the 2nd. THAT IS INSANE. The only reason we are flying with United is because we were able to get 1 of our tickets for free because Adam has so many frequent flyer miles.
Tomorrow we will head to the laundry mat to do all of our laundry and then get everything packed. I am able to ship boxes via Fed Ex through my work and get a great rate.
If we checked 3 bags with United (1 bag for me, 1 bag for Adam and one bag with equipment) it would cost us $200 round trip. Shipping our stuff through Fed Ex will only cost $60 round trip. It will also be nice that we don't have to lug our crap to and from the airport. We can print our boarding passes the night before and just walk directly to security. We also won't be frantic the night before we leave because we waited until the last minute to pack. This is usually what happens.
