All Packed!

 Well we are all packed and ready to go. We head to Toronto tomorrow afternoon when the kids are done with school. We decided to do a carry on each, a small backpack each (as our personal item), plus one small checked bag with all the stuff that’s annoying to carry on. We have a vehicle, so while I still prefer to not pack too much, travelling light isn’t as important as if we were taking public transit. We will have no issues fitting this stuff in our vehicle. 

The one bag we will check is basically filled with liquids. 😆 It’s got our sunscreen (35C weather forecasts x 5 people x 11 days = a lot of sunscreen). We also have bug spray (there is a malaria and dengue fever risk so while we don't usually use bugspray, we will be for this trip). I didn’t bother trying to put our toiletries in the strict carry on sizes since we were checking a bag. And then it just has stuff that if we lost it we’d be ok. A cooler bag backpack, ice packs, ice cube trays, our little telescope/binocular things, a laundry bag, a collapsible bin that we can use for groceries, etc

We also have a separate bag for our overnight in Toronto so we don’t have to go rooting through our luggage and have to repackage before our flight. 

Our luggage for 5 of us for  11 nights in Costa Rica!
