That sounds like a huge amount of luggage for just two weeks.

My wife does not pack light either. She loves giant suitcases. It is always an argument that I rather bring four carry on size suitcases so I can manhandle them up the many stairs in Europe. Instead of two jumbo suitcases.

  • That's still a fair bit of luggage, however subdivided. Can't always be avoided but still hard to navigate on trains, etc.

    • It is her chance to dress up. She packs ten different outfits…

      I can handle the FrecciaRossa and SNAV with all that the luggage. Can’t do it on local bus or train. I was pleasantly surprised by Rome’s buses. Now I tap my credit card. No more having to go to a local shop to buy a ticket or pay by cash.

You have never met my wife.

However, it’s not that much. Two weeks in one carryon is tight for me; she has trouble doing a weekend in one, and that doesn’t include hanging clothes.
