[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We always check large luggage, usually 4 big checked bags, and we then each have a regular sized backpack for the plane. We have never had any issues with this except one hectic taxi line at the Paris train station where we loaded in and out of two larger taxis before I could find a driver who was willing to use the (required) meter. I hate dealing with laundry on vacation and rewearing sweaty clothes and having to buy “liquids” like toothpaste and hair/skin products bc [b]travel size is too small for 2 weeks[/b]. [/quote]

I have not found this to be the case - we have travel-size bottles we refill with our preferred products, if I can't refill tI have purchased travel-size portions that are more than enough for the trip. If you are staying in hotels, many now come with higher-end body wash so that eliminates the need to travel with it. Sure some time is needed to refill the bottles before travel but its never been an issue in our household. For things like sunscreen we just purchase upon arrival and use it up or leave it behind. Doing laundry is pretty simple - especially with the laundry flakes instead of liquid - light weight takes up no space and not part of the liquids restrictions.

It all comes down to personal preference. Our family is fine with a down day for laundry during a fast-paced vacation, and we'd rather not injure our backs handling a large suitcase. Selecting the right fabrics can make all the difference for ease of wash and wear, packing, and not having to re-wear sweaty clothes. It also depends on where you are going and what you plan to do.
