<p>Anyone got any tips on this? What to bring in carry-on vs checked luggage, how many bags to bring, what one thing you couldn't live without, etc? Thanks!</p>
<p>The standard rule is bring half as many clothes and twice as much money as you think you will need. I've found that is realistic. Bring at least a day's worth of essential items (toothbrush? change of clothes?) in your carry-on bag, which is the one you can best count on not getting lost.</p>
