[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We each have a small rolling suitcase and a small backpack/tote. Everyone carries their own.[/quote]

This. My kids (now teens) are pros at this kind of travel and we've had them each manage their own backpack and rolling suitcase since about the age of five. As for contents I would aim to pack for a week's worth with the idea that you would be able to do laundry somewhere along the way. I tend to overpack on the undergarments because they don't take up a lot of space and uncertainty regarding when the laundry will get done.[/quote]

This.  And, bring knits that can be rolled.
Also, bring clothespins--you can hang damp clothes from a coathanger if you have clothespins.  Although, I was never much for washing when travelling.  (I used to take old underwear and ditch it along the way. You know, the kind that you keep for one more time......)
I had a friend who washed her underwear every night and hung them (hair dryer helps, too).  She said they were always dry by morning.
If you have a real disaster with clothing--like spilling a soda all over or something like that, you may want to wash it.

Have fun!  And, put in a lightweight fabric bag for things to bring home--or purchase one on your trip.[/quote]
