In male mode I usually have a small suit case, I carry mine and one of my wife's up to the room. Then I go back and get her other three on the cart that's provided at most Motels. She says she just takes the minimum. I have often wondered what I'd take and thought I really would need to buy more suitcases. Teri I bet you are going to have fun and meet a lot of good friends that visit on here. Going to the DLV would be my dream come true. I bet it will be a fun trip.
