Packing

Trying to figure out how to pack. This is not an easy task since neither of us have ever flown on a plane. So I start packing like I would when I go camping. All clothes in one bag, bathroom stuff in another, and anything else in the last bag. Which will work for the MTC, but the plane is another story. The plane requires certain weights 50 lbs per checked bag and 45 lbs for the carry on (does this include a purse) and then you can't take certain things in the carry on bag. I know the carry on should contain essentials in case you luggage gets lost ( that would never happen). I hope someone at the MTC can help her pack for the plane because I just have no clue. At least the bedding I know how to pack. Her Mission President sent a letter saying I ship it off to Oregon this week. That will be easy right???
