Ok - not really but almost. Have most of the clothes in the suitcase. I give everyone credit who does carryon not sure I could do it unless I shipped all the snorkel gear and water shoes, flip flops. Our family has big feet so that is taking up half the suitcase. Hopefully, the snorkel gear will fit on top or at least the fins. I am hoping just to take one suitcase and two carryon's.

Well, I finally bought an underwater camera and since I waited till the last minute went with the TG-610. I kept going back and forth between the Canon but I am just happy I now have a underwater camera. I am also bringing my Nikon and Pentax with the big zoom just in case one of them dies.

Ok - back to packing. My 10 year old daughter keeps coming in the room and wants to add more clothes. She is having a fit that I said she could only bring 3 outfits :lol:

Your departure day is almost here! Woo-Hoo!
You will be amazed at how much clothing you don't wear so really look it over one more time and take out all the "maybe I'll wear this" :?: Especially if you have a washer/dryer. No ones gonna know you wore the same thing twice~ :wink:

Seems like you've been planning this trip forever! I know you'll have a blast~ Cheers to you! :wink:

we did only carry ons for our 10 day trip 2 weeks ago...ish. We also invested in "travel fins"...they are smaller and still do the trick. Each member of the family has a carryon...1 is filled with clothes, 1 was filled with stuff for kids to do (toys, video games, books, etc), and the other was filled with snorkel/pool stuff and sundries....oh, the last one was our polar bear cooler! And with that...a family of 4 using 1 carryon for clothes for 10 days...there were STILL things that weren't worn at all. We did have a washer and dryer but mainly we wore bathing suits every day for most of the day. Oh...and whatever they are wearing down on travel day counted as an outfit....so I only brought alone an additional one!

Have fun! I am going through my pix now to assemble a trip report of sorts!You will have a blast!
