Get Packing

First things first: Make a master list that you’ll hold on to so you can modify and reuse it next time you travel. You can even hand a printed list to your older children and make them responsible for their own stuff.

When creating your list, work from head to toe (tichels to slides) so you don’t forget anything.

Bring your list with you and keep it in your suitcase, so you don’t forget anything at your destination, either.

Keep travel items together — leave a luggage scale, mini toiletry kit, and ziplock bags or pouches in your suitcase.
