During our 4D 3N Singapore Trip last year. One big expendable luggage bag, one bagpack and 1 handbag
Hari Raya is just around the corner. I love packing clothes and stuffs for travelling but, light packing for 4 of us is almost impossible. Essential items like milk, milk’s bottle, diapers, clothes,munchies [biscuits, bread, vitagen etc] almost cater for 1 bag, not mentioning our essential as well
Although it local travelling or just going back to hometown, i just hate if i miss our kids essential items and to me, everything is very important and a must have in the luggage bag. However, here a few tips that i just found out how to minimize and optimize your items for travelling especially with kids and long hours driving . This is for 1 weeks packing list for drive travelling with kids
[1] Hand Carry/ Portable/Light bag for emergency
Provide a small bag to put all necessities during emergencies, for example,
* 2 spare clothes if your child is vomiting
* Diaper at least 4pcs,
* Formula milk in the milk dispenser & milk bottle,
* Hot and cold water,
* Munchies [biscuits, bread, vitagen, chocolate]
* Travel pack toiletries
* Towels & handkerchief
* Medicine, Minyak angin cap kapak
* Wet cloth wipes
* Gadget/ Toys
* Plastic Bag – in case your kids want to puke, just grab one from you bag. Also may use it as wetbag to put soil diapers
[2] Luggage Bag Packing List
Toiletries & Personal Care [packed together, in a ziplock bag]
* Tooth paste, toothbrushes,
* Nail clippers,
* Children’s medicine/ Your medical card
* Birth control, vitamins,
* Insect repellant[mopiko]
* Deodorant
* Moisturizer Cream / Lotion
Technology Stuff to Bring / Toys
This is very important as to entertain the kids and to ensure they full occupied during the long hours trip. Kids happy, parent less worries and headache
Clothes
Packing clothes is most challenging part when you traveling with kids. Some expert recommends “traveling light “and that’s great advice. However, I prefer to bring along enough clothes that we never need to waste time to do shopping for new clothes. But the choice is yours!
Clothes for Kids
* Plenty of shirt
* Fews jeans / denim
* Sleepwear
* Underwear
* Socks
Clothes for Grownups
* 3 shirt and rotate.
* 2 jeans / denim – wrinkles free
* 2 Sleepwear
* Sweater & Sock
Tips :
[1] Bags will hold more if the clothes are rolled rather than folded . Rolled your clothes
[2] Avoid white/ clear color shirt, easy to get dirty and need of changing
[3] Just soak your shirt after use and hang it. In the next morning you may wear it again
