I have been reading a lot about packing light. It makes a lot of sense because I still have visions of us hauling our 29" rolling bags packed to capacity (expecting cold weather) and the horrors of hauling the bags up stairs and down! Lesson learned for us grownups but...
How in the world does one convince a teen (especially the girl) that she does NOT need a two week change of clothes for a four week travel? By trying to keep our cost down, there is no way we will be replacing her wardrobe in Europe (except for one or two pieces as souvenirs), so that's out.
How did you get your teens to pack lighter? Any recommendations that I could pass on to darling daughter? My son is more reasonable though he's convinced he'll need several pairs of jeans.
