LOL I bow down to all you carry-on packers! WOW! Anyone that can fit a weeks worth of clothes, shoes, and toiletries into a carry-on let alone 2 weeks!!!! You rock!!!!
I am part of the way overpacker crowd... I have been known to take an entire shoe bag and check it through... yes, like 7 shoes... 7 days... LOL plus a large suitcase that barely makes weight and a carry-on. I admitt to having clothes that don't even get worn... but I have choices on vacation. Knock on wood... I have never had luggage lost yet.
And I find checking through bags very effeicient. I don't lug anything big onto the plane or through the airport. I pull right up and do curbside checkin with the luggage I'm checking through...it's well worth the extra few $. And once off the plane, by the time I walk to baggage claim and bathroom stop, my luggage is there. Much simplier then having to do laundry during the week... and less time then doing laundry. My family gets one of those guys with a big flat on wheels to get our luggage to the car... worth the tip and we are on our way with all my over packed crap!!! But I'm happy
I think I would go nuts with only 3 bottoms for the week. I'd rather check it through and wait a couple minutes if need be.
Have fun Light or heavy pack... ENJOY
