Yikes! I'm in BIG trouble!

since you still have different last names, you can fill out separate paperwork on the plane and go thru one after another. or even if you go thru at the same time, when you get to the red light/green light just let someone else between you and push separately. that way if one of you gets the red they will be searched and hopefully the other will get a green and you wont have to both unpack everything.

great tip, abbie - thanks! i'm a little worried about the receipt thing in mexico (how you can only bring $200 worth of stuff....I have about $1000!) so hopefully we can canoodle if one of us get stopped so they search the luggage with just our clothes

and kelly...totally feeling you on freaking first and then finding the whole thing hilarious - how did i accumulate SO MUCH STUFF!!! I hope I have enough suitcases to fit it all!!!
