We went to the Middle East last fall, and our weight limit on our bags was less than that, and we were pretty much able to fill up a wheeled 28" Pullman suitcase, so you can get quite a lot in if you are allowed 75 lbs. We had three bags, and at the last minute we added a fourth, just so we'd have plenty of room to bring stuff home. I bought a nifty little gadget for $10, and it was worth every penny I paid for it--it's a luggage scale. It's hard to get a good, accurate reading on a bathroom scale. This has a hook on it, and you simply hook it on your bag, and lift until your bag comes up off the ground--there's a locking mechanism and it locks on the actual weight of the bag. It was money well spent ;) I really recommend you try to find one if you have any doubts about your bags being overweight. That gave us peace of mind, especially since we had a layover in Germany, and if our bags had been overweight there, it would have been 10 Euros per kilo, which is a lot of money for 2.2 lbs. of extra t-shirts. Let me just give you an example of the stuff that went into one case: Outfits for a week (tops and bottoms), socks, panties, bras, a huge toiletry kit, several pairs of shoes (Birkenstocks, fairly heavy shoes), blow dryer and all my hair stuff, several hardback books, 30+ rolls of film, several dress up outifts, extra pairs of jeans and shorts, a couple of skirts--I mean, I had a ton of stuff in my suitcase--you should easily be able to get two week's worth of clothing if it's light clothing, or a week if it's heavier stuff like boots and jeans and sweaters. Buy littler bottles for stuff like your shampoo and toiletries--the big bottles most people have in their showers are really heavy, so I always take smaller bottles and instead of a regular tube of toothpaste, I take a couple of travel ones. There are tons of ways to cut down on weight, and I know most of them, as I have been traveling most of my life. Have a super fun trip!

Your local luggage store should have them. Try calling around.
Good luck.
