We are going this weekend too! Just DH and I and I was having the same problem too!! I had everything of mine packed in a duffle type bag. Then I put it on my shoulder and desided no way! I can't walk through the airport with that heavy bag on me!LOL It is just so much easier to just wheel a suitcase around. I have a carryon size suitcase with wheels so I won't be checking the bag either.
