How much luggage are you bringing with you?

Just a fun idea I had. How many suitcases/bags/luggage are you taking with you this year for all your cosplays and other items?
For me, it'll be three. My rolling suitcase, the overnight bag that goes with it, and my big messenger bag. Since I'm taking the train, I have to pack pretty conservatively.

I'm hoping three, suitcase, messenger bag then my Omega Weapon (yes, he's special enough to get his own bag)

I'm taking the Greyhound, so I gotta watch it. I did think of putting my wigs in a box, but If I flatten them right, I should be fine.

I think 2-3. My big suitcase will have my costumes, normal clothing etc. Smaller "carry-on" size for food and then a box to carefully transport wigs and other fragile items. I'm driving so I don't have to worry about space/size so much.

I have one huge suitcase, so I am hoping that will be enough. Though, knowing me, I will also bring a backpack filled with snacks and other small things for the con.

I am bringing my backpack and nothing else. All i need is my costume (fairly basic so dont need a big bag), some clothes including swimsuit and toothpaste/brush. I'm not intrested in taking luggage on a ontario northland bus then a subway then a city bus so yeah I travel light also works in case of a zompocolyspe, we must be prepared at all times.

A plastic grocery bag to bring toiletries, boxers and socks.
RadRage has the right idea for the second bag.

I'm thinking 1 bag, but I may need 2. My friend is being so kind to bring my costume with her, so I don't need to worry about that. :3

Oh god let's see @__@ I have one giant ass suitcase that will be holding all my cosplays and clothes, as well as my bff's cosplay and clothes...Then I have one bag dedicated to shoes, yes, literally a bag with nothing in it but shoes...Then my shoulder bag which goes with me everywhere, and another bag for the stuff we will be buying there. Then we have the bags/boxes with food in them + the cooler bag...So that's another like 2-4 there...Then we have Katies and Dan's two bags (we're all in the same car/hotel room)

.... So I think in total we have like 10-14 bags coming with us @__@

I didnt include the 2 big boxes that I will be bringing for my nomi table (one box is partly empty for the other peoples stuff.) or my prop or wigs. >< dang it! but my current count is 2 for me and 2 for my hubby (1 for clothing and costumes and the other for extras. ie bathroom, chargers, batteries,cameras, laptops and cables Each) also with only having 1 costume this year its defiantly going to be a small pack but Im bringing 2 wigs (1 for me and 1 for a friend) so thats another bag. my costume might be in its own garment bag. . . then there is the case of water were bringing. . . >< I really need to start packing so I dont forget anything.

So far it look like it will be 3. One for my Nomi stuff and casual clothes(big luggage), one for my huge costume(army style bag) and one to carry my dolls(smaller bag)
Hope I will be fine in the train... My big suitcase should be almost empty if I sell enought at the nominochi(and if I don't buy too much....) So hopefully I will be fine when I go back home.
