I could easily live with this limit if it were just me and/or I was only going for a weekend or a few days. But I'm planning a trip with my wife and it'll be about two weeks or more.
Does anyone have any tricks they use because of this limitation? Frequent laundry stops? Mailing baggage ahead? Leaving some behind? Or am I just being paranoid about a problem that's not real?
I have always made my wife carry her own luggage.
On our honeymoon she brought the contents of a small apartment. Over the years she has learned to manage with carryon very well and the only time she checks luggage is when I'm not traveling with her as she is unable to place it in the overhead by herself.
We have our laundry done while traveling. The inconvenience for personal time used for this task IMO is a lot less then waiting for your luggage to arrive. (could be an hour could be a day or more)
