Packing list

Could someone post a good packing list or a link to one. I've been tossing and turning for about 2 hrs trying to go to sleep tonight and it just aint happnin' ....we leave Friday to head to Galveston to cruise on Sunday. We have family in Houston so a quick visit with them and leave the kids (with them) and we're off!! I gotta pack tomorrow.

thanks

Here's an excellent place to start your packing list, but WARNING!:eek: There's so much good information on the Prucha site, you may be stuck there reading for hours! :p http://www.prucha.com/modules.php?name=Cruise_Mania

Look down near the bottom right of the page for tips on packing, eating, etc.

Since I pack for a family of four....I leave my packing list on the computer based on the number of days the cruise is.

I also have a "Loading List" to make sure everything gets "in the car"!!
