Are we supposed to wear our polyesters and stripes for two weeks?

This was the quote from an email from the other Canadian referee on Friday when she realised that we were allowed 23 kg of baggage total. As our referee bags come in around 20 kg, her question was whether we were supposed to wear our ref pants and striped shirt for the entire time we were there. After some clarification, we found out that they did have a excess baggage allowance for the players and coaches, but had forgot to include the referees. Thankfully, after a few hours of worrying (excess baggage is at a cost of $15/kg) we heard back from Ringette Canada indicating that they got us included with the excess baggage allowance. Yea, we can bring clothes as well as our ref stuff. Thanks for the help Nathalie & Stephanie...

It does mean that all the bags need to travel together, and I need to take Karen's (other referee)bag with me to accomidate that (as she was going to Paris for a few days of vacation first), but that isn't a big deal, at least they will get there, and we won't be paying $300 per bag!
