I love traveling.
I hate packing. I get a bit neurotic about not packing things.
I refuse to make a checklist and use it like an organizer because it seems like after 41 years I would know what to pack, right?
Well my last trip I forgot to pack underwear (which led to a rather fun trip to the Reno Walmart and the gift shop at the Nugget).
This time I made sure to pack some panties and a few xtras.
But traveling with my stuff and all the kids' stuff I wanted to find a better way to deal with all the cords and chargers.
We have:
2 laptops, palm, 2 phones, Nintendo ds, portable dvd, gps, 2 ipods and there may be more I'm forgetting.
So I asked my fellow organizers... and they came up with.... just a few little things, none perfect but all quite usable.
Cord organizing for travel:
1. Kangarooms travel case for chargers and cords
2. Built's 6-pack for chargers
I love this fun stripey one!
Got more than 6 cords like me? Try this double decker doozy from Kangraooms
I chose to do it on the cheap with a box of zip lock bags.
- Label each cord with a labelmaker or masking tape
- Put each in a ziplock bag (if desired to keep from tangling)
- Put all the little bags into a small clear shoebox bin or a larger ziplock bag.
If you have other ideas for packing chargers to go, comment here with your suggestions.

Okay, so I am loving you big right now! A few summers ago (shows you how much I travel) we took a road trip and I was so frustrated with all the cord crap. This is great info...
Did you notice that I skipped right over the "underwear" escapade..?
Great stuff! That trip to Walmart WAS fun!
When I pack I lay everything out on my bed so I can see it all (a little insight into my personality *wink*). I also have my toiletries in a travel bag, which I only use for travelling. I just grab it and go! :)
Thanks for the products, very cool!
