Hi, due to medical issues and full time work plus parenting I've realised we have 2 days until we travel abroad on thurs (short haul) and I've not started doing on packing or working out what is needed

5 year old 2 adults

Clothes, sun lotion, wash stuff I'm fine with I'm not finding the brain space to think much beyond that and hoping maybe someone has some thoughts I can steal to start being organised!

Assume beach/pool holiday?

Passports
Insurance details
Licence if renting a car

Sunglasses (surprisingly easy to forget)
Sunhats
Flip flops/sandals
Beach/pool towels if not provided
Some beach/pool toys (or buy there)
books for by the pool

anything you need for child bedtime routine - blackout blind if needed, favourite toy, water cup, books, clock etc

stuff for the plane - we do tablet/phone plus headphones for DCs . Remember to download stuff to watch

anti mozzie stuff

Medical pack, I always take
Adult nurofen
Child calpol & nurofen
Dioralyte
Immodium
Piriton or other child antihistamine
Plasters - plenty
Savlon or similar
Thermometer
Any regular medications

If self catering I would also take various other things, are you?
