leaving in 3 days - don't want to forget anything!!

[kpearl]

My mother/daughter, aunt/neice, cousin/cousin trip is coming up and I couldn't be more excited! This is the first trip I planned all by myself so it is going to be amazing watching my dedication, work, time, and effort come to life

So with that said I've been doing some packing every night after I get home from work so I'm not completely swamped the night before the trip. I did my toiletries last night and will start ironing and packing clothes tonight. I have my packing list handy to make sure I don't forget anything but I'm known to remind myself over and over to not forget something andddddd then I do, woops.

So with that said what are common items you tend to forget right before you leave for a trip? Or anything I may have not thought of that could be useful! I'm going with my mom (44) my aunt (42) and my cousin (7). We're sharing a room at Pop! Any tips, suggestions, comments, would be greatly appreciated - thanks a bunch

If you're bringing lots of electronics, bring along a power strip so that you can keep them all plugged in at the same location.....trying to plug phones, tablets, GPS, and whatever else into the lamp socket under the bed is not pretty, lol.

What I do for every trip is check every packing list I can possibly find on the internet and make my own packing list adding everything I need. EVERYTHING. Even like, water bottles and silly stuff like antibacterial gel, and super important stuff that we swear we'll never forget but sometimes we do (phone, camera, extra batteries, etc)

Then I check everything off and re-check a day before leaving! I make sure I have like, 3 copies of the packing list, and put them in very visible places (like the door)

I have no tips and advice, but just wanted to say, my family and I (DH, DD6, DD4) are leaving in 3 days and staying at POP as well!

My daughters are all packed, I am packed for the most part, the only thing I have left to pack is toiletries and I usually do that the night before. We are going grocery shopping for snacks tonight. Have a great time!

My best advice when this question gets asked is don't forget to pack a great attitude, patience and a go with the flow mind-set. You will forget something. Your plans will get messed up. Something will go not your way. It's bound to happen. Know this going in and pre-decide ahead of time that when it does go wrong, you will keep your chin up, keep a smile on your face, be an example to your kids/family of how to handle this type of thing and make the best of it.

For some reason, it seems like someone in my family always forgets either pjs or swimsuits! I triple check those now! LOL Oh, and I no longer let my husband pack his own bag, cause he NEVER makes a list...

I have a packing list and I always forget something,but never the same thing twice. We never forget the basics but the one thing we learned we like to have is our own beach towels. We prefer to have our own because the ones at the pool are smaller. I like to have it to lay out on the lounge chair. It also makes it easier to find my chair in the sea of people.
