By popular demand....my packing list

This list is part Flylady and part me. Every time we go on a trip I make notes on it of what I should have or should not have taken. Please adapt it to your vacation. This one of for a three day vacation. I keep one of these list in each suitcase in a page protector. As I pack it, I can mark it off with a dry erase pen. I pack the kid's outfits in gallon sized baggies, so they can pull one bag out and everything is there: outfit, underwear, bow, etc.

Feel free to copy and paste it into Word. ***The stuff added in red are what my DH kindly reminded me...Even with him half a world away, I still need him!** thanks husband.
