Carry ons only

So this is where we need to walk the walk of our mantra. Carry ons only.

How will we accomplish this? Well, for years we have traveled with very little. You won't find us in the coolest of outfits or perfectly made up with freshly blown dried hair and cute accessories and matching shoes. Nope! We are allotting ourselves one convertible rolling bag/backpack and one daypack each. After a lot a lot a lot of research, we settled on the 45 L/22" Osprey Sojourn with Wheels. For most of the trip, we will be able to smoothly roll the bags along, ensuring that the, ahem, older knees, backs, and shoulders of the travelers get less wear and tear. But every once in awhile, we will need to be able to carry everything so the backpack will come in handy.
