If only I could fit enough clothes to last me for 17 days in a small backpack. Sadly, this is not doable. Instead, I packed 45 lbs. of clothing into a large suitcase and left it at RQS's place. However, I still have to manage packing a carry-on bag and a personal bag before my cruise.
RQS noted that if we were going on a cruise out of New York, this would not be a problem. We'd load up both carry-on and large suitcases and bring them to the pier. This is not the case if one wants to fly across the Atlantic. One has to worry about luggage limits imposed by one's airline of choice. Since we're flying on Virgin Atlantic, we had to look up their rules for luggage (carry-on and checked bags) before the trip. This is a pain. But then, I hate air travel....
What happens if they give us trouble with carry-on bags? What about "hand luggage"? There are so many things to think about when one doesn't fly that often. But once we're accustomed to flying across the Atlantic, this will quickly become second nature to us....
