It’s not always easy, especially without ready access to laundry facilities or wash and fold services. I’m a huge minimalist packing advocate, and that’s only possible when you’re committed to some self service laundry work during your trip.

By

Over the course of many summers, my kids lived in their Crocs. The blue, classic Crocs clogs were part of the ‘summer swimming apparel support crew’ as I called it. This supply bag included quick-dry towels, goggles, and swim caps. The Crocs were always scattered poolside at practices, and did double-duty as playground and street shoes during the summer months.

Get Your Smart Packing Challenge On with Holiday Group

By

I consider myself a pretty expert packer. Packing lists are very important to ensure items don’t get left behind.
