Jim (and Judy and I) are just back from our annual Cozumel trip, just a few weeks after a hurricane went right over the island. Here's Jim's trip report.

Starting September 9th, Continental is lowering international baggage weight limits to 50 pounds per bag. Bags over 50 but less than 70 will be subject to a $25 surcharge. We'll see if other airlines follow suit, but they are likely to - it's additional income without raising ticket prices. Other limits may apply depending on the destination or your frequent flier status.

(Your webmaster's advice? Relax. Pay the $25. Enjoy your trip. Life's too short.)
