Packing Lists

After taking dozens of trips with my daughter, I've carefully crafted multiple packing lists for various destinations. I've turned all these lists into the ultimate master list below. This list is meant to be over-inclusive, so pare it down to fit your trip. Traveling light is best!

Don't miss the destination-specific packing lists at the end.
