Packing Light

Afraid of losing luggage?

Carry on is the answer.

Buy a good rolling suitcase that fits most airline specifications for carry on.  Make sure the suitcase expands because it will gain check through size as you gain souvenirs. Put an empty bag into your suitcase because on the way home, that suitcase will be your carry on and you will check your original (stuffed) bag.  
Why? Because if your clothes do not reach home the same time you do, it won’t matter, and besides, you’ll be tired of that wardrobe anyway.
