Why is packing for a trip always so difficult? Is it one bag or two, 20kg or more, one hand luggage item or two. Who knows? Foolishly I checked online before we started and now realise we can take even more stuff so the wife really can pack the kitchen sink...and cooker!
In this day and age I would always try to pack as light as possible whilst still covering for every eventuallity. I always knew that when I married I would gain "baggage", but never this much!
