We encourage light packing so we will avoid checking luggage on the flight to our destination, this ensures we have everything when we transition to our bus. This will assure you do not get separated from your luggage, which can provide inconvenient for you.
Inspired by Rick Steves and lessons from our first pilgrimage. Pack only what you can comfortably manage.
