We kept on having flight issues, so the baby's stuff remained packed and ready to go for a few days. After a number of trips to my parents and now his, he still doesn't understand why I stress about getting everything packed for LO just right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one#post-790458 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:15:55 +0000 lemondrop 790458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always forget the good snot sucker. Then I have to use a crappy drug store one. </p> <p>I've followed Mrs. Bee's packing list, so I haven't forgotten much else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one#post-790441 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:12:26 +0000 luckypenny 790441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: exactly this! Plus everything there is in euros so I wanted to buy and bring as much as we could from here.<br /> @T.H.O.U.: would love some! Wasn't there a thread a bit ago?<br /> @Crumbs: Chapstick!!! I always forget! Thanks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one#post-790071 Fri, 17 May 2013 07:14:48 +0000 SugarplumsMom 790071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last time we flew internationally was for my friends wedding (and to visit family). I know she had no idea what kind of stress it ensued. Hopefully one day she'll realize it!</p> <p>Enjoy paradise! Did you pack chap stick for the plane ride? I always manage to put that in my hand carry and can't easily access it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one#post-790050 Fri, 17 May 2013 07:08:19 +0000 GrapeCrush 790050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't even look forward to packing for a family of 3 for a 5 day trip that's 2 hours away!!!! I couldn't imagine a 10 day trip. plus i'm the queen of overpacking haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one#post-790039 Fri, 17 May 2013 07:04:15 +0000 edelweiss 790039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it's going to be wonderful!</p> <p>but yes i agree that would be hard. not that i've done it, but heck, i have problems deciding what to put in LO's daycare bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one#post-790034 Fri, 17 May 2013 07:02:08 +0000 mediagirl 790034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SO hard. Going on a trip where you might hit different temperatures - warm during the day, cool at night is the worst. Then you have to pack double. Ugh. I hate packing for me, let alone packing for my husband and baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one#post-790029 Fri, 17 May 2013 07:00:22 +0000 T.H.O.U. 790029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just did a 9 day trip with my LO to the beach! Let me know if you need packing suggestions. </p> <p>One of my biggest hits was going to the dollar store and getting her some small toys. She played with them in the mornings while we were eating breakfast/getting ready. At the end of the trip I just tossed them ou.t </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one#post-789965 Fri, 17 May 2013 06:29:54 +0000 looch 789965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think what's difficult is that you don't know what you're going to find when you get there and you can't judge how expensive it will be, so you just throw everything into suitcases. It is worth it to me to pack diapers, for example, because I've been in situations where we had a bit of trouble finding some to buy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one#post-789782 Thu, 16 May 2013 23:18:20 +0000 luckypenny 789782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: I know! I used to nevvvver check bags. I think we have 3! UGH! DH made copies of all documents this afternoon ! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one#post-789772 Thu, 16 May 2013 23:13:25 +0000 Ree723 789772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummm, yeah, packing for a baby sucks! Before having LO, I travelled a lot, always in a backpack, and was the master of travelling light. Not anymore. We travelled internationally for seven weeks when DD was 6 months old and that was rough (although we stayed with family in our travels so we didn't need things like portacots and prams). We've done a couple of other domestic trips since then and it does get marginally easier.....but still a pain!</p> <p>The only thing I always triple check is documentation and copies of documentation in case there are any issues with LO's passport! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one#post-789768 Thu, 16 May 2013 23:10:51 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 789768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: im soooooooo jealous.

We're meeting a lot of my family there so I'm hoping I at least wont have to change many diapers there lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one#post-789760 Thu, 16 May 2013 23:06:49 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 789760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where are you going?</p> <p>Once youre in paradise it will sooooooo be worth all the extra work you put in!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one#post-789755 Thu, 16 May 2013 23:04:35 +0000 luckypenny 789755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Who thinks packing for a family of 3 for a 10 day international trip is HARD! DH seems so confused when I look extra exhausted this past week. Not to mention all the extra laundry/cleaning I have on top of day to day stuff. Ughhh. I am SOOOO ready for the beach. </p> <p>Is there anything I'm forgetting? What do you always forget to pack when traveling? </p>
