HOW TO WIN

PACKING FOR A FAMILY TRIP • Whether you’re organising a weekend away, a multi-week trip up the coast or your own Big Lap, packing requirements will invariably differ and some things will be more important than others. One thing that won’t change is the fact that it always pays to plan ahead.
