bags one year to go and come with. The trouble with going was the customs wanted to look in and knew that my goods were donations, they didn't like that. Too bad I said they were family and got away without having to pay import duty.
On the way home no problem at all, we used 2 bags inside each other and then taped them up once at the airport, we left the tape off until the last minute in case anyone had to look inside.
The large soft material Bali bags are really good for bringing stuff home in also. You can get a Number 7 which is about 3 feet long!
