My "Weigh ME" bag is so new; I bought it for the Alaskan cruise on Mariner. I had packed it SO well for the Disney trip, every single inch was perfect. Then I remembered to weigh it; it was ONLY 17# overweight. I drug out the next bag. I've just bought two that aren't as heavy before I pack them, and hopefully that will help. But I can't bear to give my monster bag away.

My downfall is the paperback books, too. I can't stand to have less than a half-dozen to fall back on, just in case. And now that Mark's vision is impaired, we travel with a magnifying lamp for him and his over-size print books.
