You are 100% right about too many "essentials, " often recommended by influencers, are not essential at all. I spent $100s of dollars on essentials and left many home because they wouldn't fit in my personal item. Many of the ones I took ended up unused, especially on an overnight flight.

I got sucked into buying a pricey passport wallet, and oh yeah, some "essential" travel items that 1. Did not fit my space, or 2. Never used. Thank you for sensible advice. I have dropped 4 lbs of stuff out of my packing. Donated and relieved all is gone. I changed to a backpacker mindset for my small carryon . Light weight, rssentials only.

Hi Mardi! I love all the tips! For my family of 5, I put a post-it flag on the data page of each passport. Each person gets assigned a color. This helps save time at check-in, security and immigration. I store the passports and a pen in one ziplock bag and put the ziplock in a dedicated pocket in my personal item. If we need to travel between Australia and the US we need to bring both passports so I’ll have two ziplock bags.
