I do a lot of spot cleaning knees and backsides. This past trip we lost a pair of jeans to sliding down mountain rocks so that kiddo got to wear PJ bottoms home. <br /><br />My light packing totally depends on being able to wash! I also make the older ones add deodorant to their car bags now!! On this last trip I wished I had a bag of winter hats just for cold winter mornings so that goes on the iphone list for next time. I email my self the lists and have a computer file of lists organized by trip!! No creating the wheel for next time. <br /><br />We are due for another East Coast tour, cousin play time for sure!!!

One idea is to put him in charge of making a list (on his iphone likely:) of what you actually used! For example maybe you don't need fishing gear for the 2 day trip to the cabin but could have used earplugs. Make a list per type of vacation and then go by it, no add ons! We found for our up north trip we never used shorts because it was so buggy but needed 1 pair of jeans per kid and lots of swim suits. It cut out all the track pants and athletic shorts. Also, using the car bags creates a set space limit for "extras" maybe hubby needs a car bag too :)Otissidekicks.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03080134636203944818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814734540096865116.post-44793126335811274792012-11-26T14:28:28.751-08:002012-11-26T14:28:28.751-08:00I love that you played the name-that-movie game! W...I love that you played the name-that-movie game! We do that when we're driving and see a car with a built-in DVD player. Do you have any advice on convincing your significant other to travel lighter? I'm with you; I can travel for a week or more with just a carry-on, but my husband thinks we need to take everything but the kitchen sink with us when we go away for a weekend. It drives me crazy!Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13747060443039706105noreply@blogger.com
