Umpteenth trip to the store
No matter how well I plan in advance, there is always a last minute trip. For one trip we made a last minute trip to purchase luggage. How does someone NOT have luggage available. We didn't.
Kid's stuff, books, toys, DVD's, soft toys, pillows, hats, sunglasses
Benadryl?
Maybe not Benadryl, but there is medication. Tylenol, adults and kids. Claritin, adults and kids. Benadryl, just in case. Thermometer. Band Aids, Neosporin, Bug Spray, Bug Bite Itch Cream, Hydro-cortisone Cream.
However, NO diapers, wipes, pack 'n play, baby toys, portable potty, ....

Drives Hubby crazy. Then again, I used to wait until the last minute, like Hubby was walking out the door, keys in hand, and I was pulling out the sweeper.
Passports
Though Canada doesn't mind who visits, returning to our own country is the hassle.

We are learning to NOT leave this to the last minute. Technological advancements do not always make things easier, nor quicker.

You mentioned no diapers. A few years ago we went to Canada (Sask.) My mom is from a small town there (really small about 10-12 people--8 of them are our family!) Adam was not potty trained. I was not going to take a full pack of diapers so I packed enough for the flight. I said once we get there we will "swing" by Wal-mart and pick some up. Mom then told me that we better pick some up on the way, the "swing" to wal-mart was 45 minutes. I didn't know it was possible to live that far from a wal-mart!! :)
