All about luggage

We left the USA with a total of 4 bags:

Elissa: 1 purse (7 lbs) and 1 backpack (17 lbs)
Bryce: small backpack (11 lbs) and 1 backpack (22 lbs)

I have now come to the realization that it IS possible to pack light, and have everything I need! Target sells a large selection of travel size toiletries, REI sells awesome undergarments that can be washed and dried overnight for outdoor activities and traveling, and just downsizing the amount of garments I brought helped. I have to say, we were much more efficient than I expected. I was really excited/surprised to be under the weight requirement.

The reason why we did this: We are traveling to several different cities via several different airlines, each with a different luggage weight restriction. The most restricted weight was 45 lbs total (carry on and checked).
