We are scheduled to take the VCT trip this October. I just read that we are restricted to 44 pounds for checked bags and 15 pounds for carry-on. I am very concerned about this because the weather is going to be hot hot hot and precludes re-wearing of clothes and it is a 16-day tour which we have extended. If you have recently taken this tour, are the restrictions hard fast with luggage being weighed? (I don't travel with a steamer trunk - merely a 25-inch suitcase and carryon.) Do the hotels offer reasonable laundry fees? It is not an appealing idea to frequently do sink laundry. Any current information would be greatly appreciated!
