Family Vacation Ideas and Help for Family Vacations

It’s called the Pack-It folder system.  You use color-coded envelopes, one for each child, so you don’t mix things up, and folding boards (included) You can fit twice as much in your suitcase.

        Also, check out the compression sacks and zippered cubes, which hold bathing suits, socks, etc.  My friend from Los Angeles, who is hip to cutting edge trends, came to visit me in Florida. She took this system out of her suitcase. I was so amazed that I had to try it myself.  You have to see it to believe it.

      I will help narrow your focus and get you organized before you pack.  I have mastered the “art” of packing light, which makes me an expert packer!

        In fact, I am one of the only “hands-free” moms at the airport. Each of my sons pulls their own carry-on, complete with snacks, electronics, busy crafts, toys, books and games. About a month ahead of our trip, I order enough creative playthings from www.Madallie.com to keep them occupied on the plane.

        My husband wheels the family duffel bag and I just put my purse over my shoulder. It’s a wonderful new era of family travel for us. My boys are too old for strollers. We check the car seat and family duffle at the curbside check-in.
