Hmmm.. hire car... 23yo....

I have just looked up the weight of the things and they might be a bit lighter than I remembered - 32lbs/14.5kgs each. Might get me out of the weight excess charge but not size.

I've just seen aacargo.com - the Expiditefs service might be worth looking into, as long as the people can get it to the airport - I might have to bung them a few extra $$$ though.

edit - flight prices are similar for Raleigh but a little more for GSO. For some dates the prices are £900+!
