If you’re anything like me, you love a good packing list. As I prepared for my DCP, I honestly looked over about 20 packing lists and tried to make mine the PERFECT one.
However, as I quickly learned, there is no “perfect” packing list. Because I was flying, I had limited space and had to pick and choose what would and wouldn’t make the cut. This packing list represents everything I took in 1 CHECKED BAG (less than 50lbs), 1 CARRY ON, and 1 PERSONAL ITEM (a backpack). I get very specific in my descriptions in the hopes that this will help you know exactly what to bring.
At the end of this post I have included things that I intend to buy in Florida because I a) couldn’t fit it in my bag or b) It was cheaper to buy there than bring from home.
Anyway, I hope this post helps you as you prepare! For a pdf version of this packing list, go to the end of this post. Have a Magical Day!
