Creator's Key Takeaways

We've been looking forward for this trip for a long time and why we're doing it is because we want to and the kids are young and so we figured this is the best time to do it

I just look for yellow or red. Uh it's really easy for me to spot my kids, especially when you have an aloper. That's so important

We try to pack light so that uh we have less to carry because some of our kiddos aren't uh always work walking all the time and so if mom and dad are carrying the luggage and children we need to just pack lighter

We're going to try to do the vacuum seal uh on the bags. We've got some zip bags that apparently will get all the air out

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use bright, solid colors (yellow or red) for kids' swimwear to easily spot them in crowds
Pack only two pairs of shoes per child: tennis shoes and closed-toe water shoes
Use vacuum seal bags to save luggage space
Pack light on clothes to make room for extra medical/special needs supplies
Use matching outfits for kids to keep track of them easily
