Subject: Re: Anyone Traveling To Europe/UK?

We always go with 2 backpacks that can fit in the seats in front of us (if need be) and 2 carry on bags. Sometimes we check the carry on bags, especially on the way home since it doesn't matter if they get delayed.

For souvenirs, well I rarely buy anything except candy, magnets, etc. but you can easily put a collapsible duffel bag in your luggage outbound and then use it on the way home. Usually we are flying business class so we get free checked luggage.

We were talking to this couple that were probably 70s and they mentioned how often they have traveled. I think this was at the train station in Rothenburg, Germany on a winter day. Then we saw how much luggage the poor guy was hauling and later we both chuckled and wondered why anyone older and experienced in traveling would have that much stuff on a trip.

Leave the blazer at home.
