Okay so I know this list is kind of enormous, but it's a lot of little things. I plan on fitting all the plane stuff in one suitcase and one carry on. The car is pretty full right now, but will easily fit another four suitcases or so. Also, a lot of this is stuff like food, bedding, furniture, etc. and not clothes. I'm trying really hard not to overpack on clothes again, but it's SO hard not to!! I think I covered just about everything, but I'll go back and add some stuff if I think of it. Or take away. I probably don't need to bring that many skirts and dresses, and some other clothes, so I'll probably try cut back when I actually start packing for the plane.
