Heels are easy to walk in, heck I could run in them better than I could my sneakers.
My arthritis is pushing 30, and I have weak ankles. BUT I love heels - I am always really happy when I can wear them, but tend to have a back up pair of comfy shoes just in case - DH hates it if I can't walk by the end of an evening!
I think she is talking about overweight bags. SW is very nice about overweight bags. They charge an extra fee if a bag is over 50 lbs.
Here is the weight and size allowance.
Weight and Size Allowance: Maximum weight is 50 pounds and maximum size is 62 inches (length + width + height) per checked piece of luggage. Effective March 1, 2005, overweight items from 51 to 70 pounds will be accepted for a charge of $25.00 per item. Items weighing from 71 to 100 pounds and oversized items in excess of 62 inches but not more than 80 inches (i.e., surfboards, bicycles, vaulting poles) will be accepted for a charge of $50.00 per item. Any item weighing more than 100 pounds must be shipped as Air Cargo. However, Customers cannot use SWA Cargo unless classified as a Known Shipper as defined by the TSA or TSA approved Indirect Air Carriers (IAC). For full details about shipping cargo, visit swacargo.com.
I fly with SWA too - and carry a 50lb fish scale so we can wiegh the suitcases before leaving the hotel. I checked in once, and the kind person there suggested we open up the under weight suitcase and the overweight suitcase and shuffle stuff around. I don't want to be that person in line again!

What a beautiful morning! I sent DD to school in capris today, bare feet & skimmer shoes - she was sooo happy - she hates socks. I was barely aware of shoes until about 10 years ago. DD is already started on a shoe fetish. She has some croc flip flops, the Hannah Montanna skimmer/sneaker shoes and some fabulous silver low heeled open toed shoes for the cruise.

I have been told to narrow down my footwear options...I may have to leave the pirate boots at home.

Ok - I am off to TRY to find a dress again this morning - wish me luck!
