Please limit yourself to one carry on and one checked bag (50 lbs or less). Everyone is responsible for transporting their own bags, so please plan according to your strength. Small backpack (instead of a purse) as a personal item. Since we are touring it's advised to have a secondary bag so you can pack for the day or overnight instead of lugging the primary bag in and out of the hotel.
