We just did this on a cruise from Ft. Lauderdale to Genoa. stayed at Camp Darby, then Ryanair'ed to RMS. After disposing of excess (end of useful life cycle)clothing, we made the Ryanair weight restriction.   Rob G.

Mail it to friends or relatives with APO privileges who can forward it the rest of the way back to the U.S.?   Cherry C.

The "cruise clothing" will put us over both Ryan Air's limits and the possible limits of a small military jet. Thus we thought of mailing some clothes back home. But the mailing charges at the English post office are exhorbitant! Has anyone thought of any other alternatives? Figured if there was something I had overlooked, maybe someone on this board would have thought it out before. TIA Jim Bagley
