First question - Is there a way to search these forums? I hate starting new topics if they have been covered, but for some reason I haven't seen a way.
As for this topic, I'm sure it can go anywhere, but since we are traveling to Greece, I thought some advice from folks who've been there/done that might have practical advice. Between Athens and Cyclades Island hopping, we'll be taking a mixture of Sky Express Flights, Ferry's and Taxi's (and I think in one place they escort you to your room on Donkey!)...in addition to any walking we have to do with our luggage. We'd like to make sure we think strategically about luggage!!
When traveling through Zimbabwe, standard duffle bags (no hard sizes or wheels) w/ cubes worked best because of the planes...but we didn't have to handle our luggage at all. We're thinking more of the rolling duffle with backpack straps would give us max flexibility. Something like this: http://www.ebags.com/product/high-sierra/at7-32-inch-wheeled-duffel-with-backpack-straps/264224
It's July, so we know we can pack light thankfully! We also purchased the "plus" tickets on Sky Express so understand weight restrictions.
Thanks!
