I'll second everythign everyone else has suggested! And don't kid yourself into believing a backpack will do it either... or maybe that's just me I actually packed it all in one place yesterday (a suitcase i thought would be excessive) but it's half full, and that doesn't include the last things i need to grab - like a few pairs of trackies and undies! And remember - you may be likely to recieve gifts in hospy, especially soft toys and stuff that's awkward to pack elsewhere but great filler for your suitcase!

Good luck
