What to pack for trip

[TN Traveler]

Hi Friends,

We're leaving in a couple weeks on our family vacation to the beach. I cannot stand to sit and do nothing so was thinking about taking my scrapbook supplies and work on an album. However DH is really freaky about what we pack and the weight in the van (gas mileage thing) so I have to pack it very light. I thought what I would do is get an idea of what album I can work on.....have about 10 in the works or promised! and then go from there. Here's a list of what I was thinking I'd take........

scissors, glue stick, tape runner, personal trimmer and paper cutter (debating if I need both or just take one. I like the personal trimmer for pictures but paper cutter for "paper cutting"!!") misc assortment of paper and stickers geared toward pictures, pencil/pen. Felt tip pen for journaling.
pictures (of course) and an album.

Any other ideas or suggestions would be very much appreciated. The paper and stickers will be the hardest thing to weed out. Was thinking if I could do one main topic...like DHs soccer pictures or vacation pictures that would eliminate some extra things I don't need.

Thanks in Advance!
Karen

Not sure what type of album you use (and if you adhere directly to the background page or if you use cardstock or patterned paper for the background). But it might be possible to leave the album at home (which would save some room and some weight).
