REMARKS/SUGGESTIONS

Luggage rules: Luggage rules and limits are set by governmental and airline policy. Enforcement of the
rules may include spot checks or may be inconsistent. However one thing is the same across the board:
If you are found to have oversized or overweight luggage, you will be subject to additional fees, to be
assessed by—and paid to—the airline in question.

A small bag is a necessity for certain portions of your trip. You’ll need it for those times when
luggage storage is so limited that we must send some luggage ahead. This smaller bag can be a duffle,
a backpack, a weekend bag—whatever you feel comfortable with. It only needs to hold enough gear for
three nights at most. For more details, see the “Your Luggage” section.

Don’t Forget:
• These luggage limits may change. If the airline(s) notify us of any changes, we will
include an update in your Final Documents booklet.
