All families pack so differently, some blogs I follow carry ample suitcases, some travel with just carry on luggage.

 

We are going to be in the middle!

BK and I will take our full size packs (which we took last time we did this kind of trip pre kids!) plus our carry on suitcases. Our kids will be carry on backpacks only.

 

I’ve been writing big lists of everything I want to take with us and I hope it’ll all fit. Along with a ton of technology and a few school books, there will be minimal room for clothes.

 

Some things I’d like to take, if they’ll fit in the allocated 68kgs are:

* Travel size games of, uno, spot it, magnetic chess, magnetic snakes & ladders, magnetic ludo, monopoly, battle ships, guess who, and a normal pack of cards

* Sunlight soap

* Head torch

* Ziplock bags

* Kiwiana canvas bag for shopping at markets

* Possibly a smoke detector

* Four times pillow cases (so I know they are MY version/standard of clean!)

* A headphone splitter for when two people want to listen to the same thing, which hopefully would save a few $ on the audio self directed tour guide things you can hire at attractions

 

I attempted to do a practice pack last month but it all got too overwhelming so I put everything back away.

 

I’ve got life stuff organised to almost the point where things just need executing on particular days.

 

I’ve also got the first 10 weeks of flights and most of the accommodation booked and paid for!

 

We are counting down the days but there is still so much to be done!

 

Till next time!
