Good reminders. Even for adults and those who are thinking about travel with less than a suitcase! I think my backpack was less than 30 pounds for a 6 week trip to New Zealand and Australia. Could have done with less. Hiking a mile or more to travel sites - hotels/hostels/trains/boats/airports was rough with that much.
