Packing Cubes and link to packing list

There has been a bit of interest from a few people in some more information on the packing cubes and also a link to the packing list I use. I managed to find one photo I had taken from a previous trip- not the greatest picture but it gives you the general idea of what they look like.

I googled a little and found this site that sells them but you can also get them from Howards Storage world (for Aust readers). They are not very cheap so it is a matter of buying a few at a time until you have any many as you need and then you keep them forever so a good investment for travel especially once you have a family. There are some more pictures on the site as well.

I tend to split them into shirts, cardigans etc so I can just go to the one cube to pack stuff- I apply the same for Flynn if he is travelling as well- he gets his own cubes. Shown in the photo at the bottom of the suitcase is a medium cube- I can fit 2-3 on top of each other and then down the side vertically is another cube so you can fit about 6-8 in a medium suitcase. I normally use the fully plastic one shown at the back for shows at it contains any smell !! This time I think it had nappies and wipes in for Flynn.

The packing list I download is from mom agenda. I add and delete stuff from it, one day when I have the time I may do up my own master list but for now this work for us. I just print it off the week before and have it around all week, once something is packed it gets ticked off.
