I carried by DD when I picked her up, but she didn't weigh 30 lbs! I would recommend bringing a stroller, a backpack, and the minimum luggage.

I was only there for 4 days for pickup, so only brought the shoes I wore everwhere, 1 nice outfit, the rest shorts.

I left lots of stuff down there, shampoo, extra diapers, toys, etc. only brought back what I needed for the plane ride. She was still on baby food, but I didn't bring enough for the trip home - ended up getting fries for her to eat a one airport.

I had people meet me at the airport and had them bring the carseat, blanket, water cup, bottle, bottle of water, snacks, diapers and clothes. Had a 90 min drive home from the airport.
