BACKPACKERS vs SUITCASE

Hiii....just wondering what would be easier to take? a suitcase or a backpack?

and what other things have you packed that have come in handy???


Im worried what to pack and i still have 39 days...and lets face it, its not the Jungle!!!!

Suitcase! Preferably 2! That means you can bring stuff back with you. They come in very handy for walmart shopping LOL. Also, don't take many clothes...just essentials like jeans, shorts, t-shirts enough for two weeks maybe.....general stuff lol. That might not be much help!

 

yeah im definately going with a suitacase or two! not sure where we put them once we've unpacked...but hey

 

i took two suitcases theres pleanty of storage space
theres no way i could pack for a year in a backpack x

 

cool i was almost swayed by getting a bacpack but im thinking a case or two is the way forward!!!!!!!!! the only prob is i plan to travel after and taking a suitcase is going to be pants! though i could always take one suitcase i dont care if i leave behind! that would be alright!?!

alex i was thinkin bout this traveling thing and about suitcase vs beast of a bag, i think im gone go with the suitcase and see if sum1 would elt me leave it in there accom whilst i travel coz im gona be flying bk form florida plain cheeky but ima thinkin its worth a shot!

 

There may be somewhere you can leave it at the airport? I know some airports do left luggage kinda things, that you can pick up on your way home

 

cool! i suppose i could leave it somewhere...i think a suitcase is the better idea for me as there is no chance i will fit my life into a backpack...all that merchandise and wonderfully cheap clothing will be too tempting not to buy!!!

Hi Alex,

I have the same problem. I have a ton of clothes, so I definitely will take 2 suit cases. But I'm also travelling after the program. I considering sending some of my clothes back to home through UPS or something like that. Because I also won't resist buying a loads of stuff there. Where are you travelling afterward? I'm going to Vega and NYC.

talk to you soon

Hi

I'm also looking a doing a bit of travelling once the programme is over but don't think I could live out of a backpack! I have too much of a shopping habit and dont think everything i buy over there will fit!

Have you booked your flights yet? and if so did you book one way to florida and then a one-way from whererever you're headed too or are you planning on going back to Florida to fly home?! There's loads of things I wanna do and i'm a bit worried I wont be able to cram everything in in a month!

I have actually only booked a one way ticket at the moment!! dont know where i want to go or what my plans are so....one way it is!! i would like to see the whole of America but i dont think that will happen in a month! my friend from home will be at WDW till oct so if worst came to worst could always go back to Florida last before i go home? she keeps telling me how cheap everything is...i know i am going to be too poor to travel as i will have spent all my money on clothes lol!

I was there over summer for two weeks and it was brilliant for shopping - Try and get to the Florida mall in the last week of june, first week of july 'cos thats when all the sales are on too ;D

I practically had to buy another suitcase to fit everything in!

LOL I used to work onboard ships and I would start the contract with one suitcase and come home with like 4. And I have gotten so much better at packing it just means I was able to fit more into less space. Anyway ladies just remember, You've got to carry it. LOL> Anyway I woudl suggest suitcases they are easier in general and they are great storage devices as well for things you wont be needing all the time Which backpacks aren't so great for.

 

I think the odds are stacked against backpacks then...you have all won me over...im going to be suitcase galore....look out for the tall girl struggling to get into her room with her 10 suitcases xx

 

LOL that will be amuzing when do you start again. I'll have to come by to watch. Remember mix and matching is key to dressing. I may have a larger wardrobe than my sister and mother combinded but I've been living out of suitcases for almost three years. I cant bring my entire wardrobe. CRY. I'm not sure how i'm goin to manage my shoes.

 

oh, i think it my break my heart to have to pick my fave pairs of shoes to take with me

xx

 

OMG. haha! I totally feel the same way! I love my shoes and don't know how i'll choose between them.

 

yep... totally...will have a suitcase just for my shoes! ha ha

I am arriving on Jan 20th so yeah watch out for me struggling!! lol!

I'm so jealous of you going in jan! April is too far away

Hope packings going well!!
