- Meds, ADVIL
- Phone & Charger, Camera & Charger

Next is the folding & fitting! Like I said yesterday, we all get 1 BAG, this bag. Little guy & I will share a bag, and I will use the other bag for our stuffs (the AND things) … still only 3 bags!
Tips to fit everything & staying organized on the move …
- Fold/Roll Combo ~ like they do in the Army (my Dad taught me)
- Space Saver Bags.. the roll up kind for your unmentionables. Not great for anything you don’t want wrinkled.
- Meds … take prescription bottles! Downsize other pills, I bought these lil bagsfor my vitamins, Advil, etc.
- Travel containers ~ try and rePurpose, if you can’t, I HIGHLY recommend GoToobs.
- Separate bags so you can grab what you need, and so others can grab what they need (i.e., kids & husbands)
It may seem NUTS, so what! I never stress once I am on the road, I know that I have the important things, and there is always a store. So there you go Monique …

Holy Crap. I am a woefully inadequate packer.
