Packing tips

[Tipsylizard]

We are about to go away for a weeks holiday in a hot country - all inclusive. We have a 3 year old and a 20 month old. The hotel will provide a cot/bed/high chairs etc.
And we are limited to what we can take due to baggage restrictions on the flight.

What are your top tips on what to take with us? I am a bit rubbish at travelling light

I love packing cubes. You can get them on amazon. Keeps everyone’s stuff organized.

Buy nappies and wipes there, unless you desperately need a very specific brand.

Kids do go through a lot of clothes, but at least they are small. Take some hand wash stuff and you can wash things in the sink and dry on the balcony so you can take fewer clothes for you all. Seriously think about how many outfits and shoes etc you actually need. If it’s just hanging by the pool most of the time then it’s not many. And wear your bulkiest clothes for traveling.

Buy toiletries and suncream there if you’re not fussy. Or take one thing for the whole family to share

You can also order things like nappies and sunscreen from boots and pick it up airside at most airports.
