bags going over or coming back. We use one suitcase, the lightest suitcase we have, and fill with the breakables. We use the $2.00 bags for everything else. There are smaller hand luggage size $2.00 bags too, handy on return to put all declaring items in. The amount of bags or boxes aren't a problem in the hold as long as you are not over weight. A lot of Japanese people use boxes tied with string and duct taped.
For going over I fill as much as possible with donations and usually just have one bag for our essentials. I'd like to say I try not to take on plane because it is such a hassle and with only 3.5 hrs from Perth we can manage but always at the last minute there is some other donation that just must go.
