PACKMATES - Could Not Have Traveled Without Them!
The other piece of advice I would have to give you soon to be travelers, is to buy packmates. Yes, you can get them at Kohl's, Walmart, Target, etc., but this is by far the best deal. You will get 15 medium bags for $30.00. You can't find a better deal than that!
We "packmated" our clothes in outfits. We put into one packmate what we would need in Beijing, and that was all we needed to take out during our first stop. You thinking packing the first time is tough! Remember that you have to unpack and then repack at least two other times!
We packmated diapers and that shrunk them up perfectly. You can get diapers in China, but we had the space so we purchased them here.
We packmated all of our stinky clothes for the trip home. It was summer and we were hot and sweaty. Not the prettiest picture but I'm just being honest. The packmates seem to seal in the smell as well. :)
There are not many things I would swear by, but even my hubby was sold by the end of our trip. Soooo . . . .
Call Linda at 1-800-432-7517 and ask for the adoption special. Happy packing!

Absolutely would second the packmates. I'll be using them again...
And! Huge, med., and small Ziploc bags too. I packed everything in them. It was great. Then as I emptied them, the poopy diapers went in them. :o)
