[quote=Anonymous]Carry-on all the way. I leave space in my backpack for things I might want to purchase on the trip - but having limited space means I think hard about buying anything. Chances are I really don't need it. And if it's something big and expensive then I'm going to have it shipped home. Everything else fits or it doesn't. I have spent way too much of my life overpacking, and dragging suitcases and I just don't want to anymore. I'm highly motivated to make it work - it does require forethought - types of clothes, plan for trip activities, access to laundry etc. But I can make it 10 days easy - winter or summer with my current setup. And not bringing things home has been freeing as well. We don't need more stuff in our house. To assure myself that I have what I need - I do a day-by-day overview of clothes and activities. What I will re-wear, what will be washed, and when I might have time to do laundry. If a piece of clothing I think I will need doesn't fit - then I either wear it on the play or it stays home. I tell myself I don't even own a bigger suitcase - this is it and I have to make it work. The trips have been so much better as a result. [/quote]
