I have to admit, one bag with no weight restrictions sounds like a pretty sweet deal. One thing I do is get those packing/storage bags – the kind where you fill the bag with clothes and then roll them up to press all the air out. The problem is that it’s very easy to end up with a very heavy bag once you’ve flattened out all your clothes. But if you don’t have a weight limit, then you’re set!

Four days in New York with one carry on?

I did 10 days in Costa Rica with one carry on and my camel back; 8 days in Bejing with one carry on and a backpack; 14 days in Thailand with one rolling duffle/backpack. You just need to learn to pack better!

Have fun on your trip!

On some of the European airlines they charge even for the first bag!! On my way to London I had to pay 15 Euros to check my bag and leaving I had to pay 15 pounds!! If I had known it would be that expensive, I would have worn the same clothes the whole time. :-)

Will you have access to a washer and dryer? Or an iron? Those things could help you.S.B.'s last blog post..Using What You Know To Help Others Financially

Take a look at Rick Steves website for some packing tips; I highly recommend the packing cubes (and I love their luggage, too). We are military and one assignment involved a lot of travel- we had a baby/toddler at the time and would go on a trip for 2 weeks at a time using only public transportation all over Eastern Europe. I had a carry-on size rolling bag, my husband had the backpack version, and we had a small backpack for the child as well as her stroller. It can be done you can still take your food.

That's too bad!i hate how airlines are finding any way to take more money. i understand that gas prices are going up, but they're so sneaky about everything by charging for a second bag, or lowering the bag weight limit so they can charge people with their one bag. It's silly and i feel it's a bit dishonest.jessica @pianomomsicle's last blog post..Try them out Thursday! 4.24.08
