I'm sure I could do the 'carry-on only' if I was traveling spring/summer/fall...but my trip will be next February, Scotland then England, for 3 weeks. We will be doing some indoor activities, but a lot of walking and visiting parks etc. She is 24 and I'm 60. Because she is doing Iceland first then Ireland she will have her normal large basckpack plus a daypack - . I will work at packing light..but wondering how realistic it is to just have one carry-on plus daypack during winter..?? I don't want to be really uncomfortable without enough warm/dry clothes. Once there we will be traveling by train and bus (and foot). Would it make more sense to have a good, comfortable backpack and check it on airlines..one that I can still manage easily if we have to walk a ways with it?
