Occasionally, I will add in general observations on life.

My kids always had me organize their packing. That is until they finally figured it out for themselves. We camped when they were little and the rule was "if it doesn't fit in your pack, it doesn't go." the exception being sleeping bags. When my daughter went to Germany as an exchange student, she backed a medium sized carry on bag, a military zippered ditty bag and a daypack that doubled as her purse. This was for a 6 week trip with no more and 5 days in one place. Everyone was astounded at what she had and hadn't packed. I'm the same way. I guess some of that is our military brat training.
