Leaving for Italy - Thank you for Help!
 

On my way to Italy on Friday. All packed, but still have a lot to do. Just wanted to thank everyone for all the wonderful advice I have received, directly and indirectly. I have learned so much, and I appreciate all the help.

Miracle! I have all my clothes and shoes in a 20 inch roller (also taking a tote bag). I did sneak a few things (travel books, etc.) into DD’s large suitcase she’s taking for 5 months.

Thanks again!

Have a wonderful time, Maire! I am very impressed by your packing everything in a 20 inch carry on! Packing light has never been my strong suit.

Have some gelato for me.

Dear Marie, a 20 inch roller???? I am impressed. You will have to give us lesson after you return home. Have a beautiful time in Italy! A 20 inch you say???? Unbelievable and truly impressive.

I make my family of 4 each pack in a 21" rollaboard and a tote like bag so we can carry everything on. You will be so glad you did this. Hope you have an extra bag or something to bring back any purchases!! Have a great trip!

Thank you, Johanna, LI, and Jgg.

LI, my suitcase may be 21", not 20. ;) But now I have to repack liquids into checked luggage.
