I've said it before but this time I am determined!I will not over-pack for our family vacation. What makes this year different from the last 11 years? This year I have a plan and I'm sticking to it!
Here's My Simple Plan:
- Use my packing list.
- Stick to my packing list.
- Resist the urge to pack one more thing "just in case."
- Blog about my plan to give myself some accountability.
- Reflect on the benefits of not over-packing.
We have been going on this "Up North" vacation by the lake for 11 years now (8 with years with children) and I have perfectly clear idea of what we need and what we don't need. So no more excuses for me! I'm just going to focus on why I don't need to or want to over pack.
The less stuff I take with, the less I have to deal with going and coming home. That means more time to focus on the important stuff...family!

i'm going to be packing tomorrow, and I haven't even thought about what we need to take along. I'm not even sure all the plans for when we get there. All I know is there won't be air conditioning and that's all I can seem to think about!
So did you end up overpacking? Ha, I know the feeling. And yes, I totally know what you mean about feeling the need to keep the campsite tidy. I too love camping, but sometimes I wonder, is it REALLY worth all the trouble?? Hope you had a good time.
