Thanks for this post. It reminds me of the first time I packed the car for a trip just to a friends house - we took everything. The thing is with travel and children is that you do learn from your mistakes, but the next time you travel, they're a little older and their needs change and you find yourself making more mistakes, you just get better at improvising and dealing with it! It's what makes it all the more fun though, right?
