Summer 2015 has been a summer on the road for my familia. We started our summer with a drive from Texas to California and back. It was our first vacation road trip as a family with nothing else planned but family time – finally, a real vacation. And most recently, we took our first beach camping trip two hours away. We aren’t done yet!
For each trip I, as mom, am in charge of the packing. My packing routine is to start making a list of things we use daily on the day before we leave. I either place items on the bathroom counter or directly in the suitcase after we use them. For example, once the boys are done with the bath, I place their 2-n-1 soap on the counter as a reminder to pack it.
When traveling with kids by either car or plane, parents are pretty good about packing items to keep the kids entertained. We use tablets, reading books, coloring books and favorite superhero figurines. Packing snacks is almost second nature when you have kids, too. If we can make the kids as comfortable as possible, it will make traveling for parents much less stressful.
However, no matter how much I check off my list for my family’s packing needs, it’s inevitable that I forget to pack something. So, instead of seeking a list of things to be sure to pack, I searched the web for things we forget when packing. Below are the five most common items that are forgotten when packing for a trip.
Don’t forget to pack …
1. Umbrella
2. Gadget chargers
3. Underwear
4. Toothpaste
5. First-Aid Items
Making sure that I pack a pain-reliever in my first-aid kit is essential. When I have forgotten to pack a pain-reliever and ended up needing one, I had not choice but to over pay for two small OTC pills to help relieve any pain. I was happy to find an alternative.
