around handles, built-in wheels, and a heavy duty lockable zipper. Due to space limitations
on our motorcoaches, you are allowed one piece of checked luggage per person. Porterage at
airports and hotels is provided for one bag per person. All bags should have luggage tags.

Carry-on Bag
You are allowed one carry-on bag per person. We suggest a tote or small backpack that can be

theft-prevention measure.

Clothing Suggestions

Functional Tips
• Travel light: A good rule of thumb is to gather together everything you want to bring;
then take half of that. Eliminate all but the essentials and start packing a few days before
you leave. That way, you’ll have time to think—not fret—about what you might be
forgetting. To have a varied travel wardrobe, yet keep your luggage light, we recommend
you select a color scheme and pack color-coordinated clothing items that can be mixed

• Consider clothing designed for travel, sports, or camping: With modern fabrics,
lightweight packing for comfort and protection through a wide range of weather is easy.
A visit to any online or local sporting goods/outdoor stores (L.L. Bean, REI, EMS, etc.)
will yield a treasure trove of lightweight, specialized, and fashionable clothing and gear
that is readily adaptable to your itinerary.

• Pack casual clothes: In today’s age of informality, comfortable and informal apparel is
perfectly acceptable at each of your destinations. Basic pants, shirts, walking shorts,
sportswear, everyday dresses/skirts, supportive shoes, and functional outdoor clothes
that are relatively easy to care for are recommended. Men do not need jackets or ties and
women do not need fancy dresses.

• Bring rain gear: Regardless of your month of travel, rainfall is certainly a possibility.
We suggest you bring a folding umbrella and waterproof shell. Water-resistant walking
shoes are advantageous in case heavy downpours pass through.
