BACKPACKERS vs SUITCASE

Make sure you take suitcases with WHEELS that are easy to lug around. My wheels were screwed up completely... trying to half-drag/carry heavy cases around Orlando airport trying to find the welcome desk (hardest thing to find EVER and a trek and a half) after a 9-hour flight was NOT a fun experience!

 

cool...thanks for the tip!!! i will look out for a suitcase with wheels for definite!!

Well you'll be there before me. Methinks. 7 weeks to go. Good luck with the packing. Grin.

 

I think i'm gonna go for the cross-breed. My huge suitcase has backpack straps! I've really got to plan - everyone says we don't need many clothes so i feel that there may be some difficult decisions to be made...

 

I'll being taking suitcases too and I dread picking which shoes to take, though the last wo years I've been there in October the converse store has a $14.99 sale, which I love I brought 6 pairs back this year, totally amazing value, I'm especially loving my candy cane striped pair, very festive.

 

ooo converse store?? can see me having to ship many a box home! do people generally take one big suitcase or a couple smaller ones?

 

am i thick or something, i thought that on any flight you can only bring one suitcase??

eee neary time for phone interviews!! xx

 

It depends on who you fly with. If I end up going I'll most likely be travelling VA Premium Economy, which allows you two bags up to 32kgs each.

 

ooo premium economy eh Lou ;-) xxx

 

Oh yeah we always travel that (lol not because we're all high and mighty, but my brother and I both have blood conditions and really it's just safer and more convenient for us to travel that way, instead of climbing over everyone in economy when we need to walk around every hour.... and not to mention more comfortable!!!)

 

i know ppl all say just pack ur essentials but we all know wen it comes down to it us girls can never manage that.....but just out of curiosity are ther any events where a nice dress would be involved?? not talking prom dresses or anything but you know a bit more than a "out on the town" dress?? and also what sort of possesions do ppl take over? i have a digital photo frame that im def taking but is it better to try and "jazz up" bedrooms with stuff over there and forget the sentimentals from home??

all answers welcome!!
