Am I the only one that thinks " 11 pieces of luggage" for 4 people, even with 2 under ten years old, is a tad excessive?
It's summer in So Cal my man, time to downsize.

We're a family of four, with a 1 year old and a 6 year old, currently on a two week Southern California Trip. We have in total:
-2 Pieces of Max Luggage
-1 Booster Seat
-1 Car Seat
-1 Stroller
and that is it. Full change of clothes for almost all of our days, diapers, snacks, beach towels, toys. We are efficient.
What you describe = amateur Travelers and those drive me nuts!!

Two words.. pack rats.. bring everything and use hardly nothing..
If it was me travelling alone.. I would buy suitcases at the destination and bring back the max allowable export items..
Wives.. gotta love em.. or I guess no choice but to leave em..

I just came back from a trip to Hawaii. On the Alamo rental shuttle bus, there were tons of people with multiple heavy suitcases. And the poor lady bus driver had to carry them on and off the bus. I still don't understand how people can travel with so much stuff, especially when going to Hawaii where the weather is hot and you don't really need much clothing, not heavy ones anyway. One family of four, parents and two kids about six to eight, had seven large suitcases!!!

How people take so much luggage just baffles me.

Flying out in the morning.. and the usual.. pull the all nighter.. and shove everything into the 3 check in luggages last second..
2 car seats.. diaper bag, purse, computer bag, and 3 suit case carry ons..
Looking forward to the Riviera Maya.. especially with this YYC rainy weather we've been having.. then over to LAX where I'll be reporting back on the AutoSlash minivan rental.
