Hi, I was reading the article about packing for travel and downloaded the packing list. I'm curious how many weeks that packing list is supposed to cover.

Also, I want to reduce packing for my 2 ADHD sons (10 and 16), me (ADHD) and my DH (ADHDenial:^). We are going first to California for a week then on to Hong Kong for 3 weeks. The climates are different, as is the culture regarding clothing. I want to pack just enough stuff. In Hong Kong we will have access to a washing machine, but no dryer. In San Fran we will be in a hotel and I'm not sure what amenities are available.

At any rate, what do we need for 4 weeks? Will that packing list suffice? Right now I have 3 25-inch suitcases and 4 carry-ons, but it is overwhelming me and taking me forever, regardless of endless lists, to get it packed. Are 3 25-inch suitcases too many for 4 weeks for 4 people?

I'm soooooo overwhelmed and don't know how to organize this packing event.
