How many toys should I pack?

If you are like me, you almost always OVERPACK! Now, with two children on board and extra baggage fees in abundance, I am always looking for the fine balance of packing just the right amount of toys while leaving room from the new ones we almost always come home with. Most of the time, we shove a variety of smaller activity (keep me busy toys in our carry ons), but for some reason, I always feel the need to pack some of their beloved items that make them feel at home in a new place. After several over weight baggage fee's, I now realize that my children ONLY need one stuffed animal that they would normally take to bed and are more than happy to collect a new toys from our latest adventure away from home.
