[quote=Anonymous]OP you don’t say how old your kids are. Old enough to read is old enough to pitch in and learn how to pack. Since they could read, I write my kids a packing list. They pack their stuff while I’m doing mine, then I can go and check their work. With time the checking becomes faster then unnecessary because you have trained them so well.

Like wise with cords/devices/amusements. It is more work on your part initially to train them but worth it in the long run to get free of the burden of packing for so many people plus teaching them life skills. My youngest now is 9 and just needs double checking as he is my head in the clouds kid in general.

Also - yes I keep separate travel stuff (cords, adapters, travel games, luggage scale, etc.) for ease. I do not have the same must pack list as you. I have never packed tissues in my life honestly. Moisturizer is a toiletry and up to each individual. We do jot travel with a CO detector but those stories seem generally to be in Mexico or the like and we don’t travel there. However for items likes that and a travel first aid kit (which I do take), they would just live in my separate travel stuff.[/quote]
