We took two roller suitcases and two napsacks. We each packed 3 pairs or pants and about four tops plus court clothes. Remember that you won't get your son until the very end of the trip so you probably won't have him with you for very long in the scheme of things. We took an outfit for each day plus 3 extras as well as only a few pairs of pj's. you can always get things washed. We did hand wash clothes every day - it was something to do while waiting out the 10 days! Plus we would change into sweats/shorts once in the hotel room so we could rewear our clothes multiple days.

Don't overpack, nothing worse than trying to struggle with suitcases. We even brought some clothes that we knew we would throw away before we left. I brought old heels for court and my husband brought some older clothes that we left here. Made the trip home much easier and had room for souvenirs.

We too didn't bring a ton of gifts and brought a lot in country and tipped cash. Made the packing much easier.
