If you are like me, we need to make a list of items to pack to make sure we do not forget anything. This trip for us was a family vacation, so a packing list is a must. Here is my list which included 2 adults and 2 kids for a trip to Atlantis at the Bahamas which required taking two flights to get to our destination.
1. Passports
2. Credit cards and cash (call credit cards if needed ahead of time)
3. Snacks/Food for the plane and for the hotel
4. Empty water bottles (to be filled at the airport)
5. Easy Breakfast Items - since we do not have the meal plan and we do not always want to go out for breakfast
6. kid's devices & phones
7. games/books (audibles too), movie downloads
8. sunblock and more sunblock (i hear it is mega expensive at the hotel)
9. first aid kit (some emergency pills/medicine and band aids)
10. bug repellent and anti-itch cream (we always seem to need this in warm locations)
11. baby wipes
12. tooth brush
13. hair brush or comb
14. toiletries (deodorant, hair supplies, make up, shampoo, conditioner, face soap, shaving items, tooth paste)
15. Face cream supplies (for mommy's crazy regimen)
16. beach bag
17. water shoes
18. flip flops
19. regular clothes
20. bathing suits (a few)
21. bathing suits cover-all
22. one nice set of clothes (for a nice dinner) and shoes for it
23. workout clothes and shoes and socks
24. water pants / shirts (we don't want to burn and also for the crazy slides)
25. hats
26. sunglasses
27. eye contacts
28. glasses
29. small purse
30. snorkels or goggles
31. water phone case
32. cameras and go pro
33. charges for cameras, phones, devices, etc (no need for us for international plug for this one) & Multiplug
34. Extra battery pack(s)
35. portable speaker
36. binoculars
37. walkie talkies - wifi was pretty bad we were able to communicate with our crew this way
38. feminine hygiene items (always as back-up)
39. rain jacket and umbrella (weather will never stop us)
40. books, download books (or audibles)
41. pen (sometimes we forget to bring a pen for international flights and the paperwork)
42. maybe the backpack cooler
43. check-in and reservations photos or print outs
44. charge all devices
45. Optional for the little kids: car seat, stroller, life vest (at Bahamas, we do not need the car seat for our kids and we are OK with it. We also will not be bringing the stroller and the life vests - they have life vests all over the water park)
