^ If I was doing it, it would just be a small backpack.
But that's because I always travel with just a small backpack until the trip is over about 3 weeks. I get weird looks at check in desks...
That's what I think that I will do. Especially because I would like to take my laptop with me. I think that I'll also go to goodwill and get a cheap suitcase to check and see if it makes it.
