Good point jib71!
I didn't mention that our first 2 weeks will be spent skiing so we will initially have the backpack
plus a large ski bag on wheels which we will send on to the airport hotel before continuing on with our 4 week sightseeing trip! But dont worry I imagine we'll "take turns" carrying the backpack plus a smaller day pack
