Packing List and Tips

We're just back from China! What an amazing trip we had! It was the vacation of a lifetime--and what a great souveneir! Here is our travel packing list and some tips that may help you. We used it as a packing check list.

Here is our packing list and we did quite well. We traveled over with two suitcases-- One for our new daughter and we shared one. We bought another bag there and traveled home with three.

Plan on doing laundry there. It's cheep and they do a better job than we do at home. Someone in our travel group said she wished she had brought a couple of things that had stains in them that she hadn't been able to get out at home!

Packing Tips -- spread your things between each of the bag. Our bag got lost on the way to China (And the way home!). We didn't have anything to wear for the first 3 days and had to by new clothes.

We're glad we brought all of the medications for our daughter...but luckily we didn't need any of them. She was in good health the entire trip.

Also, pack a change of clothes in your carryon. We're glad we did.
