We are a family of 6 and we are such a mess when traveling. We are working our way to traveling light, all the bags send me crazy.

Oh my goodness, what a fun trip! It is SO easy to over-pack, but lugging all the luggage is no fun… especially with kids! I’m always trying to find ways to improve as well. You’ve got this!! 😉

Good for you all, Lori!! That sounds like a lovely trip. It’s amazing how little we actually need- and access to a washer and dryer is a huge bonus!

We just got back from a 3 week road trip with 2 kids, and we DEFINITELY overpacked! Even though we didn’t have to worry about flying, the suitcase still had to be lugged from hotel to hotel! I think I am getting worse not better! LOL. Will keep your tips in mind for our next flight! Goal is carry-on bags only!

I agree whole-heartedly with traveling light. We recently took a two-week trip to Maine, flying to Boston from Michigan, then road-tripping up the coast. Our friends could not believe that all we had for luggage was a carry-on each. The cottage we rented had a washer and dryer, so we figured we could make it through a week with a carry-on.

LOL! I had a huge smile on my face chuckling to myself when reading this post. I, too, was the one back in the day with the humonguous (sp)suitcase lugging it around. I, too, was the one that when we got back home to unpack I realized I hadn’t taken most of the clothes out of the case! My husband though, The Big Guy, has always had that “i’ve got what i need in my pack -underwear, socks, tshirt”. I learned a valuable lesson in our Thai trip that converted me to minimal packing. Great post!
