We are light packers. Or at least, we try to be.

We are flying United Airlines, which apparently no longer allows carry ons without a fee. So we’ll bring one backpack for each person and the rest with go in a checked back (also with a fee).

Thankfully, the house we rented has a washer and dryer so we can get away with packing less.

I have a larger sized suitcase that I will pack myself and my 3 year old into. Here’s a quick list of what we’re packing:

everyone else

My husband and two teenagers pack themselves. What a concept! I do help with making the teens a list and running through a few key items with my husband before we leave.
Sunglasses? Hat? Swim trunks?

Each person’s backpack will have their air pods, phone chargers, laptop, books, and snacks. My son’s will have some quiet plane toys too.

Let’s go!
