If you are going to take two pieces of luggage, put half your clothes and a set of toiletries in each one. Fill the rest of the space in each with bubble wrap.

Why risk spending days (or the whole trip) with a suitcase full of nothing but bubble wrap? :scholar:

...that is, unless, you look really good in bubble wrap. Just beware of people wanting to pop your pants.

Ask Roy. People do NOT want to see me in bubble wrap. I look bad enough in regular clothing.
