BeforeYouLeave
Packing lists for family trips
BeforeYouLeave turns a trip into a packing list and a “before you go” checklist for the whole family. Describe your trip or import an itinerary, and it suggests what to bring based on who's travelling, how you're getting there, what you'll be doing and the forecast — then reminds you before you leave.
