You know those storage bins that you buy with the lock on lids? Well when they are not in "use" and it is time to go on vacation, use them as your suitcase. When hubby and I go to the beach, we pack all of our clothes and necessities in these bins, put them in the back of the truck (does not matter if it rains, they are waterproof) and off we are. Not a lot of cumbersome luggage and at the end of your vacation, put all your dirty clothes in these too. Easy packing, easy traveling. If the lids do not fasten real tight, secure with a bungie cord. Happy vacationing.

i would want to remind everyone to not put dirty laundry in with the clean.
Doing so could soil other things &/or make clean clothing smell as if it were also dirty.
Use a laundry bag or tie a plastic bag with dirty clothing & other tied until it can be dealt with.

Like to get some information about settling there with my family. Like to make email-pals, if possible.

Um...I dunno...those things would be awfully bulky and hard to carry. I can barely manage a suitcase, when it's packed full, and it has a handle. :-(

We did with food we took on our last vacation. I buy ahead starting a month or two in advance. I would get every week at least one item. Cokes, cereal, etc. (checking all the dates). That way when it was time to go it was all in the bin and we did not have to buy all the food at one time!
