Mousemom said:I always pack an extra suitcase with food so that we have an empty suitcase to bring souvineers home in. Even though we never plan to buy much we end up with so much to pack and bring home. I also pack a small tin with small packets of laundry soap. The soap won't break open during our flight and I have a container to put small breakables in to bring home. Our last trip we even packed some bottled water and propel. It was great.
We do this too. Its GREAT because, you don't need to stop for breakfast. Just have a nibble in the room and grab a water bottle. On really hot trips we might bring more than one each. The extra room in the bags on the way home is ALWAYS nice.
