[QUOTE="Newdawn2001, post: 242, member: 106"] Everyone has to choose what they feel comfortable taking when it comes to luggage. It is your journey, no one elses. But I am not young and have travelled with my Mum who is 84. Less is truely more. She has travelled with a light backpack and would not have coped with a suitcase in tow as well. A light backpack with under 7kg in it is still the ideal in my opinion, unless of course, there is a health issue which prevents you carrying anything. It is more balanced than having to carry a small suitcase. Age is no barrier but heavy or cumbersome luggage is the enemy of adventure. Having two hands free is an asset, even if it is to use those hands to hold onto railings or a guiding hand... I will still be backpacking at 80. Watch me :) [/QUOTE]
