Good trips start with a few lists made before you leave. Here is what to plan for each kind of trip, with a free page for each.
Make a trip itinerary
Put flights, stays, confirmation numbers and a day-by-day plan in one place. Leave free time each day; a packed schedule rarely survives a real trip.

Packing lists
Keep one master list and copy only what fits this trip. Pack chargers, medicine and documents in your carry-on.

Road trip games
Screen-free games such as bingo, license plates and 20 questions make long drives go faster. Print a few spare copies and bring a clipboard.

Vacation countdown
Counting down builds excitement and gives kids a calendar to follow. A color-in chart or paper chain works well, and a before-you-go to-do list keeps the last week calm.

Camping checklist
Check gear at home: tent poles, stakes, lantern batteries and the stove. Group your list by shelter, kitchen, clothes and safety.

RV departure and setup
Use the same walk-around every time: inside items stowed, slides in, hookups disconnected, hitch and lights checked. Follow your RV's manual.

Hiking log
Note the trail, distance, elevation, weather and how it felt. Tell someone your plan and carry water and layers.
