Do you want to feel more organized on vacation? Use an app to help you pack!

If you’re planning a spring break get away, you might want to consider using an app to help you pack. It may sound like too much extra work (and it might be if you’re traveling alone and know exactly what you need). But if you are packing up a family, it may very well be the organizational answer you’re looking for. I recommend Packing Pro because it allows you to sort packing lists by each member of the family. This way, you can keep track of what everyone is bringing and it helps avoid overlap. Using an app to pack may sound like a lot to go through, but packing up a family for a vacation is a tall order. Having to think of every activity, temperature change and accessory makes packing quite the daunting task. Once you get your lists into Packing Pro, it’s there and you can simply tweak it for future trips. After all, being organized is about doing the work and setting up systems in advance to enjoy the organizational benefits later–like on vacation!Try Packing Pro if your packing up your family for a spring break get-away. If your just getting away with friends, ZUJI Packman may be a good option. It allows you to share packing lists with friends and compare what others are bringing. You can even assign different items to different people to avoid overlapping and overpacking. Check them out and happy travels!
