Ask about it so you don't have to wait! I also learned that if you have strollers, some airports let you go in a special line to go through security. Ask about it so you don’t have to wait!

I was skeptical, I couldn't understand how that would make things better. I ended up trying it because my suitcase was full and would not shut, so I removed everything, rolled all my clothes, pants, tops, skirts and re-packed, and to my surprise it all fit and the suitcase closed easily. The reason it works is it fills up all the cracks, incredible!! Here’s a trick my sister - a flight attendant gave me to pack a suitcase - roll all your clothes.

We have a trailer and most of our things stay in there but sometimes we end up forgetting a few things if we don't check our master list. Also if we go away it's great to have the kids pack thier own suitcases. I have gone through them to double ckeck, but it does also let them know thier help in the preparation is appreciated.

I am traveling by plane next week with my 18 month old and my 3 month old.
