FedEx is gonna be a lot more than that. The only upside of it is that if we ship we don't have to carry. So, I could ship lots of stuff out there ahead of me and just carry my computer and a bit of camera gear on the plane. I think it best to suck it up, pay the $15 and check the bag. It's just flying a la carte, no big deal. Jon: For $15 we might as well take a bag. FedEx is gonna be a lot more than that. The only upside of it is that if we ship we don’t have to carry.

However, from now on I'm taking a bigger bag. Got to get my $15 worth! Jon: this will settle out no doubt and I have no problem with $15 extra for a checked bag.
