I pack using the "take everything I can think of" method. Then when I'm finished with that method I follow up with "wander the house and throw in everything useful I see". I wish I were joking. I'm a serious over packer and never touch half of what I bring. Sounds like I need to look at some of these websites lol
Since this is the single parent board, I'll mention my top rule for packing. Pack as if no one will help you with your stuff.
And I type or write out in red the things that I absolutely cannot leave behind like my son's breathing meds, daughter's BBB items.
Wait, people actually expect others to CARRY their bags for them? I have never in my life heard of such a thing. As I mentioned above I am a chronic over packer but I carry that mess all by myself (and vow I'll never do it again every time). God bless flight attendants and other airline/airport employees who deal with people who don't want to carry their own things THEY packed.

I forgot to say though that this works partially because my daughter is older. A parent with smaller children would probably need a bit more stuff (stroller, diapers, changes of clothing, etc).
