BACKPACK OR SUITCASE - LONELY PLANET TRAVEL FORUM.
Margaret recalls the change in luggage over time, from the meagre cardboard suitcases of earlier arrivals to the larger luggage of the non-refugees such as the Dutch assisted migrants. Due to cabin size, large suitcases are not recommended. For your convenience, wheeled suitcases are fine. We lived out of our suitcases which we had to drag onto the bed to open each time - the only space available, then we would have to store the suitcases upright, side-by-side and squeeze past. If you need for more maneuverability in those crowded airports, then a spinner suitcase is just right for you. Dont waste your time and energy lugging that heavy suitcase through the crowd. These suitcases all have rotating wheels for easy gliding in any direction. We recommend bringing an overnight bag for this cruise, to avoid having to carry your suitcases to and from the cabin. LUGGAGE means any baggage, packages, suitcases, trunks or other personal items belonging to or carried by any passenger, including cabin luggage, hand luggage and articles worn by or carried on the persons of the passenger or deposited with the purser for safe custody. We dropped off our suitcases at the tour office for safekeeping until we returned from the jungle. We got a tour of the camp, located right next to the falls, and saw the squat toilets (with bucket flush), cold showers from tanks overhead, and rustic cabins.
