Preparing your luggage Don't pack the store By Marlin Travel Whitby/Town Square There is a saying that when you pack for vacation, you should lay everything out on the bed then put half back ini the closet. Packing Basies /Start with lists - one for each person. ./Don't pack the store. Unless you're heading off the beaten track, there are usually laundry facilities and y ou can purchase diapers, etc. on ocati on..- ./Don't over-do the toys -- take the nece ssîti es. ,U s e easily identifiable, light luggage. /Consolidate -- double up the diaper bag and purse and let the kids (aged four ansd eider) carr their own backpacks or fanny paýck s. /For fewer wrinkles ia your clothes, roll themn (tissue paper hielps keep garments perfectly pressed). /Put delicate items la double bags. Your Carry-on Bag Expect the unexpected, such as lon g delays, lest luggage or a mix-up with meaIs, and prepare your carry- on bag accordingly: /a change of clothes for ail children ,/sweaters te combat cool cabin temperature. w/first aid kit (safe from children) /diapers, wipes, plastic bags (for dirty clothes, etc.) /ýbaby food/bottles, nutritieus snacks, juice boxes. w/a selection of wrapped 'small-but- special' toy for the journey -- they are great dstractions for 1idgety kids and can serve as rewards for good behaviour.
