What to pack!? We leave early Monday morning for Costa Rica. We're taking a small commuter plane from Panama City, and they have a baggage weight limit of 25 pounds per passenger. Anytime we go anywhere, I ALWAYS pack too much stuff. But with a toddler, I feel like there's so much we need! But this trip, we have to go light because once we get off the plane we have to take a bus to the border, cross the border on foot with all our stuff, and take another bus to Golfito where we are staying. Unfortunately, we have to take the pack-n-play or Anna won't have anywhere to sleep! So here's my packing list so far:
-stroller
-pack-n-play
-diapers/wipes
-cheerios
-towels
-baithing suits
-3 days of clothes
-sweatshirts (it gets cool in CR at night)
-2 laptops
-toys for Anna
-DVD's
-sunscreen
-camera
-Bibles
I'm SURE I'll remember some more things! How am I supposed to fit all of this stuff? We can't leave any of it behind! (My laptop is definitely not optional, lol). Arg. Any packing/traveling suggestions to keep it light and simple this time around? My husband has already warned me that I won't be packing like I usually do.

Oh good, you are still alive! I can't seem to get ahold of you... Write me, okay?
No, no suggestions from me. Because I have NO CLUE how to pack light. At all. And the times I've tried, I've TOTALLY wished I'd brought more stuff!!!!
I can't think of any suggestions... it looks like your list is already down to the bare bones! =)
Does the place you will stay at not have towels? You could skip those if so. Also maybe just bring a light stroller like an umbrella stroller if you have one. Can y'all not share a laptop? DH and I usually do when we go on trips. Just some ideas!
yeah, I emailed the lady to ask about towels... but no response. Typical for down here!
Sounds like you've got it down to a fine art! Hope you have a safe journey and that bubs sleeps well for you.
I really hope this trip you guys have to go on goes well. I also have no idea how to pack light, especially with a toddler! But I think you've got it down to the barest of essentials.
