The choice of what to take with you will depend upon a number of factors including: 
- The time you are planning to be away
- The type of travel and activities you are planning
- The size of your bags and your ability to carry them
- The weight of your baggage.
Remember to check the maximum weight allowed by the airlines you will be using during your trip. As a rough rule of thumb, weight in excess of 22 kgs may result in an additional charge.
