luggage

going to orlando and i need some good advice on what type of luggage to take? some mite say just use your head but i did that last time and ended up going with 2 suitcases and coming home with 7 and a bag that honestly looked like a body bag but all was in it was my dolphin teddy i'd bought at Seaworld! so yeah! i need advise..big time! my little girl wants to bring her own suitcase but id rather bung her stuff in with mine but then i wont have enough room for any gifts i bring home. ive been warned by himself not to buy any flippin' dolphins though ;o(

it really does depend what you buy. Stuff's still pretty cheap there, though not as cheap as in December as the pound has been on the slide. But of course you can buy suitcases much cheaper there than here as well. It's warm to hot so you shouldn't need many clothes with you. But how much shopping do you want to do while you're there????

not too much shopping. to be honest just dont to be caught for oversized baggage fees!

Why not check with your airline the maximum size of bags allowed, then buy 2 in that size, one for you and one for your little girl. That way you can pack both suitcases with as much stuff as possible! And don't worry about the dolphins - it's whales you've to watch out for!

excellent thinking, spudqueen. (Just make sure there aren't weight limits as well as size limits that you have to bear in mind.)
