Hi all! My husband and I are going to be up to some fun mischief in the next year+ but one thing that is giving me pause is the seemingly strict restrictions on luggage. For China it seems most regular carry on luggage won't work as it it too large (strangely the height seems to be the issue - they allow for 20cm (~7.8") whereas virtually all carry on rolling bags I can find are 9" (~22.8cm). I'm guessing they are strict - as I am reading they are - so what did you all do? Any recommended pieces that are under the limit?
Africa is going to be even more hilariously awkward for us as it seems our internal flights do not allow for hard sided luggage or anything with wheels or telescoping handles. I'm guessing either a backpacking bag or large duffel will be my go-to here - does anyone have any favorites? My old hiking backpack is too heavy for this I think - we're allowed a TOTAL of 33lbs of luggage including carryon and camera equipment and it is a whopping 5lbs just by itself!
