Getting Ready for a Three Week Vacation In Europe

Posted bylisanordlund1Posted intravel

When you’re traveling for three weeks and getting on trains, it’s important not to overload the luggage.

For my husband’s and my trip, we are packing a large suitcase to be checked and a carry-on. In addition, my husband has a backpack and I have a bag that attaches to the wheeled carry-on.

I use packing cubes to consolidate the clothing. I put one with clothes for our first stop in Frankfurt, Germany. The checked bag will have the bulk of clothes, shoes, hiking sticks, and liquid items.

I’m hoping to do laundry about 12 days in, so I don’t have to bring 3 weeks’ worth of underwear. We will be on a Royal Caribbean ship and I believe I will get a discount for my Diamond status.

But packing lightly for a 3-week trip is quite a challenge. Our bags are stuffed and my checked bag was close to the 50lb limit.

In 2015, I retired and set out to do as much traveling as I could. I started the blog on our first, month-long trip to Panama in October 2015. My sister Linda and her husband Stan joined Bruce and me on our first trip and we decided together on the name the four amigos. Since then, we don’t always travel with them, sometimes just Bruce and I, sometimes other people, whoever wants to join us on our crazy journeys. The name stuck and I grew an affinity for it. So here we are. I invite you to join the fouramigos blog on our next destination.
