[quote=Anonymous]Agree with others that for this kind of trip, small bags so that each person carries their own is key.  We did Japan with two teenagers for 2 weeks with each person having a carry on and a backpack or large purse.  Just pack fewer things and smaller things.  I find knit summer dresses take up almost no space in the suitcase but are a whole outfit for me to be very useful.  It is fine to rewear things so if you can fit 7 or 8 outfits (which you can) you should be all good.  It depends on how you will be getting around, but I think wheels work better than backpacks for moving through the airports and train stations so unless you are planning on having your stuff with you while you are sightseeing during the day I would not do backpacks only.  (too heavy for kids to haul around without complaining).  We would generally be taking either taxi or close subway to the airport or train station in the city and then dropping bags at hotel in next city before going out to sight see and it worked well.  My husband likes to overpack and complains when I insist on carryon only but has to admit that I am right when we are getting onto a busy overseas train or zipping onto the subway with our bags.  We travelled in Europe with my parents and their huge bags once and it was awful to get around from city to city.[/quote]
