Any Tips on Packing for Sun Holiday for serial overpacker?!

[Chocolateporridge]

We're going on a week's holiday to the Canaries this month, it's the first time we've been away abroad with two small children, but even when it was just DH and I, we ALWAYS packed far too much!

Does anyone have any tips or links to suggested packing lists that will help me cut down on luggage and stress? Please!

It’s likely not to be as warm as you think.layers. Colour base palette. No heels

Beach towels are really cheap, like 10e for 4. Buy them over there.

Write down actual outfits you will wear to avoid being tempted to take all your summer clothes. Remember if you have any kind of washing facilities there you do not need a change of clothes for every day.

Great tip @Scienceforthewin thank you! I'll do that too @Jeffjefftyjeff because I usually hang up outfits, pack them, and then throw in a few extra things for the outfit "just in case"

It can be windy, so suggest you will need something warm for evenings. Always wear the heaviest clothes and shoes on the plane. I always pack less than the allowed weight, so that I can bring presents back. Also buy clothes that don't wrinkle and don't need ironing
