We traveled to Italy before with Globus. Went to Venice, Florence, Tuscany, Assisi, Rome and more and we discovered it could be done with just a back pack. Now 6 years later we are daring ourselves to do it again with some modifications.
Cubes and wheels. After our first trip to Italy and in between then and now we traveled to England and Ireland using our same method of back packs. It didn’t work. Two weeks before the England and Ireland trip my knee blew out and the extra weight on my knee and back caused Dan to hit an English Costco to purchase a suitcase we used and shown in our Alaska blog. But now that my knee is back to normal for my age we’re trying again.
Three Cubes with rolled up clothes and one cube for toiletries. Selecting travel pants, light weight blouses, and only two pair of shoes (yikes ladies) two extra pair of socks and undies. The stuff I would need to access while in flight is at the top of the bag like travel documents, a travel blanket, raincoat, neck pillow, and toiletry bag with Tylenol if needed. There is still room for snacks and gifts to bring home. It has wheels this time so we don’t have to carry it on our back.
We’ll see how this goes.
