more luggage issues

no, American did not lose my carryon bag. The bag agent was sympathetic to my plight and sent the bag on the very first flight from Dallas to Louisville. My luggage arrived at 11am on Wednesday. I then drove to my parents house in rural Kentucky (town has two stoplights) to unload the car from Champaign (packed nearly 10 days prior) and repack for Germany. I hoped to pack everything for Germany into a large suitcase and use my red carryon for books. Around midnight last night I realized I had a problem. My large (26 inches tall) suitcase was half full and already 5 pounds overweight. My free baggage allowance is 100 pounds, or 50 pounds per suitcase, which sounds like a lot, but have you ever tried packing a year's worth of stuff? With my books, the red carryon is already 50 pounds so I can't add anything else to it without going over. Plus, do I really want to haul over 100 pounds worth of stuff from the airport, to the Frankfurst train station, then from the Marburg train station to my place of residence? After sleeping only 6 hours the night before? This afternoon I just have to sit down and repack the entire suitcase. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :-(
