The Peace Corps has very strict luggage requirements for travel to your host country.The authorized baggage allowance is two checked pieces not to exceed 107 inches (length + width + height) and the carry-on bag with dimensions of no more than 45 inches. Checked baggage should not exceed 80 pounds total with a maximum weight allowance of 50 pounds for any one bag.This is part 5 of a series to document what I am taking with me.Miscellaneous:

I have also decided not to bring a tent and sleeping pad. This was more of a space constraint than a weight constraint; If needed I could have put 30 lbs into my carry on.
