Different rates for continental US

[srd529]

I have a similar need and am new to zencart. I am not quite sure I understand which addons I need and the order of set up to do something similar to the free shipping to the 48 states and extra charge for HI, AK.

I would like to set up shipping by weight of order for continental US with rates for different weights.
I would like to set up different shipping rates by weight for orders from HI and AK.
I would like to set up shipping rates for international by weight of order and understand that certain countries can be excluded.

Any guidance on what order to set up zones and rates and what addons are needed to do this would be appreciated.
