Packing a suitcase is a strategic exercise in maximizing space and minimizing wrinkles. You might already have a favorite packing system. So do you enjoy packing a suitcase when travelling?

In my younger days I used a large backpack and a day backpack. Now I have two young children I travel with a large backpack that is less heavy that it was in the old days and two holdall bags. I push my children's Phil and Ted's buggy with my baby daughter in the front seat and my disabled toddler son in the backseat. I put one of the holdalls at the bottom of the buggy on the carrier. It is a black holdall with a purple edge to it. I put the other holdall on that top of the buggy on the sunshade. It is a red holdall bag. My backpack is blue and gray. In my backpack I put my daughter's fold up travel cot and my clothes around it. Then I put in my travel towel and my body care products. These include shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrush, sun cream, a comb, a small mirror, daily disposable contact lenses and a lady shaver. In the top I put in a two liter bottle of mineral water. This water is superb to have when I arrive at an airport overseas. In the holdall bags are catheters for my disabled son, nappies, six soy drink packets and some vegan food. Also I put in my children's clothes. In addition I have a transparent plastic bag for security and essentials for my flight like soy drinks for my children, nappies and catheters. If is a long haul flight I will take some vegan snacks.

I usually use a duffel bag when travelling.
