The cross body bum bag I carry everywhere. It holds so much! Snacks, wallet, water bottle, my rain jacket, and still has room to spare. It can literally fit a gallon of milk!

This is the bag I used as a carry-on for Icelandair. It fit all but 3 my tops for a 10 day trip. Holds a ton and expands or can be cinched down, plus the straps are comfortable.

This suitcase is a beast. It holds so much! On the way to Norway we didn't pack much in it, but on the way home it held all of our dirty clothes, souvenirs and toiletries. It withstood being tossed around by workers and keeps on going.

The rain jacket we bought for my daughter. Kept her dry in the Bergen rain and is lightweight enough to not weigh her down.

My hubby and 8 year old both decided on this jacket for our Norwegian vacation and it definitely came in handy. I like that it folds intoa compact size for packing. Kept my hubby dry on rainy days.

We bought 3 of these adapters for Norway and they were great. You can plug so much into them. I had our portable charges, my charging brick for my phone and my watch cable all plugged in and still had room for more!
