Good grief.....things have gotten so complicated. When my son was 10 (7 summers ago) we played 10-12 tourneys....with about half in a 2-hour radius...so we stayed at hotels some and made the round trip for others.
Here's what we did:
1) Wake up at 6am.....throw his bat bag and a cooler of drinks in the back of the van
2) Leave for the day
If it was a hotel trip....
1) Wake up at 6am....throw his uniforms in a duffel bag....and make sure he grabs his bat bag
2) Grab a couple t-shirts for me....maybe a hat if I remembered...and a pair of shorts....same for the wife
3) throw some drinks in the cooler
4) leave for the weekend!!!!
Don't make it so complicated that it's not fun!!!! If you need something, run over to CVX, Kroger or Walmart and pick it up....you're never more than 5-10 minutes from one of those places.....
If I put as much effort and planning into a weekend as some of you guys are doing, my son would have been done with travel baseball after one summer!!!!
