Bring the Right Stuff! While packing for family trips, less really is more. As in the less stuff you are dragging around, the more freedom you have.

This allows you to create your own "packing list", we have divided our suggestions into four groups:

* Documents

* Clothing Basics

* "Must haves"

* Memory Makers

What do you plan on recording? How many suitcases? What kind - Backpacks or bags role? Are the children old enough to help or is it to lug all the adults (and children) to? You may need to run to a departing plane / train / ship, so you do not take more luggage than you can bear.
Where are you going? This is thebiggie: trekking through the jungles of Guatemala, for example, requires different shoes than to go play in London.

When are you going? Sailing around the Mediterranean in July is different from hiking in the Andes in July. December in Bali is warm and tropical, December in Amsterdam is cold and snow. Check out the weather at your destination in advance.
