Sentence: "With their suitcases, some of which were almost too big to carry, and their other impedimenta." (Page 225).
Guess: I am guessing this word means belongings. I think this because the sentence talks about their suitcases, and to me impedimenta sounds like other bags or other items the girls might have had.
Definition: "Equipment for an activity or expedition esp. when considered as bulky."

Meaning: My guess was almost there. This sentence means that the girls had suitcases that were too big to carry and other equipment that is just as big or bulky.
