What to pack!? We leave early Monday morning for Costa Rica. We're taking a small commuter plane from Panama City, and they have a baggage weight limit of 25 pounds per passenger. Anytime we go anywhere, I ALWAYS pack too much stuff. But with a toddler, I feel like there's so much we need! But this trip, we have to go light because once we get off the plane we have to take a bus to the border, cross the border on foot with all our stuff, and take another bus to Golfito where we are staying. Unfortunately, we have to take the pack-n-play or Anna won't have anywhere to sleep! So here's my packing list so far:
-stroller
-pack-n-play
-diapers/wipes
-cheerios
-towels
-baithing suits
-3 days of clothes
-sweatshirts (it gets cool in CR at night)
-2 laptops
-toys for Anna
-DVD's
-sunscreen
-camera
-Bibles
I'm SURE I'll remember some more things! How am I supposed to fit all of this stuff? We can't leave any of it behind! (My laptop is definitely not optional, lol). Arg. Any packing/traveling suggestions to keep it light and simple this time around? My husband has already warned me that I won't be packing like I usually do.
Oh good, you are still alive! I can't seem to get ahold of you... Write me, okay?
ReplyDeleteNo, no suggestions from me. Because I have NO CLUE how to pack light. At all. And the times I've tried, I've TOTALLY wished I'd brought more stuff!!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't think of any suggestions... it looks like your list is already down to the bare bones! =)
ReplyDeleteDoes the place you will stay at not have towels? You could skip those if so. Also maybe just bring a light stroller like an umbrella stroller if you have one. Can y'all not share a laptop? DH and I usually do when we go on trips. Just some ideas!
ReplyDeleteyeah, I emailed the lady to ask about towels... but no response. Typical for down here!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've got it down to a fine art! Hope you have a safe journey and that bubs sleeps well for you.
ReplyDeleteI really hope this trip you guys have to go on goes well. I also have no idea how to pack light, especially with a toddler! But I think you've got it down to the barest of essentials.
