I don’t know about you, but I’d take at least a 25″ and a carry-on. I like my clothes and don’t like to feel limited when I’m traveling.

Excellent luck.

the larger the better

it depends on the traveler…some travel light, some travel heavy….

I would say a 20. If you are going to be moving around a lot make sure your luggage has excellent wheels! That is sometimes more vital then how huge it is.

Get a 4000-5000 cubic inch backpack and get it all in there! That way you’ll have mobility, simplicity and just look oh-so-cool! Have fun!

That way could take out all your stuff wherever you’re staying and use the pack as a daypack, too.

Get a couple 22″ especially if plot to shop. If alot of shopping get one a 25″.

A 22 inch is the size of a flight attendants roll aboard suit case. It’s the maximum size that will fit in the overhead bin.

I’m not sure if you pack heavy or light, but I’d suggest going with a 25, 27, or 29 inch. You’ll have to check it, but they offer the most room.

Before you buy some luggage you may want to question your friends or family if they have some you could borrow for your trip. If you can’t borrow it for the trip, see if you can borrow it for a day or two and try packing what you reckon you’ll be taking. This way you’ll know what size of bag to buy.

If you can’t borrow someone’s luggage, keep the tags on the
bag that you buy until you’ve done a ‘dry run’. If the bag is too small you can return it for a larger one.

You can get away with packing fewer clothes if you follow a few guidelines.

First, only pack items that can be mixed and matched or worn with neutrals (black, khaki, navy, white, olive, denim). Make sure that each pair of pants/shorts/skirt will go with at least 2 or more tops, and each top will go with at least two pants/skirts/shorts.

Second, pack basics that can be dressed up or down depending on the accessories and shoes you wear with them. A basic black skirt or pants and white top can be dressed up with a lightweight sweater or wrap (in a bright color), some fancy (but inexpensive) jewlery and a pair of dressy sandals or heels. The same skirt/pants and top can be dressed down by wearing it with a casual jacket, minimal jewelry and a pair of casual sandals or casual walking shoe.

Third, plot on doing laundry at least one day while you’re gone. By spending an hour or so and $10 at a laundrymat or in a hotel laundry room you can cut down on the number of underware, socks, bras and other clothes you need to take. I always do a load or two of laundry when I’m gone for a week or more.
