Whether you're hitting the beach or the slopes, chances are you've got to make a few plans and lists in order to get your family where they're going for spring break. Here's a packing list I keep on my laptop and adjust according to what we'll need for our specific destination -- sometimes we need warmer clothes and sometimes we need fancy ones. This list has proved a good one for us, and I hope it helps you, too! Bon voyage!
