So here's our crazy gamble...we know we're going to be walking with our luggage a lot...taking public transport, walking through airports, yadda yadday...so instead of taking 2-3 suitcases for our three-week journey, each person got one rolling backpack to carry on the plane. Then everything else had to fit in one rather mid-sized suitcase (without the expander opened). The suitcase was jamb-packed. I'm still taking a summer grad course, so I had to take along two books, a computer, and some printed articles. We each got 6 changes of clothes, and we have basic access to washers along the way.
Being the
logical and thoughtful cheap parents that we are, we booked a red-eye from Doha to Istanbul, leaving at 2:30 AM and arriving at 6:45 AM. So, yes, we all pretty much stayed up all night--just some light napping on the plane. Back at the airport however, my Mom Ratings got a significant boost when, at 1 AM, I pulled the leftover Pizza Hut out of my backpack.
