Packing for a trip over seas.

Don't you have to take the vacuum with you to repack when you come home?

Does the space saving exceed what's taken up by that vacuum?

I can see it for a big checked bag but not carry on.

Sometimes wherever we stay has a vacuum, for the times we do not I end up being the vacuum (crush it, suck it.) We would never bring a vacuum along.

At dinner out water will be in glass bottles. Ice in drinks is not the norm.Sodas taste funny, are expensive, and may or may not be stored cold.

This and in most places you can forget any a/c in hotels.We were gone for 15 days and only had a/c the last two days of the trip when we were in Germany,

50 people involved. A lot of them Highschool age. So the hassle of that many travelers on the same schedule checking bags sounds like a disaster. And if like my wife's training trip connector flights within Europe and possibly the US

EF tours??? We were in a group of 60 but once we landed in London we weren't back on a plane until we left Germany.They told us to never accept anything that someone on the street handed us and to keep our passport and money around our neck,under our shirt and not in our pockets, We had international pre paid credit cards but alot of places would not accept them,Cologne Germany was one of em.We exchanged some of our cash at the airport when we landed only to find out later the exchange there(at the airport) was quite a bit higher than what we could have gotten elsewhere.

I get drug into more shit than I would have ever imagined because of this. I trust my wife with my life but I can't help but think if something happened and I wasn't there I would never forgive myself.

Ah yes. Airport exchange rates are almost always worse. So are hotels.
Use a local ATM to get cash, it will be at the daily market rate. You can also do an exchange at your local bank so you're walking in with cash.
