Shoot - we don't go until mid-November and I've already got a pile of stuff in a cubby in my closet with things to pack......mousekeeping envelopes, Bitta water bottle, first aid kit, pocket kleenexes, q-tips, etc. Everytime I go shopping, I try to pick up stuff I know we will need and add it to my pile.

We leave June 9th. I have started picking up things as I am at the store. Qtips, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and yesterday I picked up the shoe organzier thingy that was talked about so much on here. I have to buy everyone new socks and undies for the trip. I do that everytime we go on vacation. Vacation=new undies!

Our trip isn't until Aug 27,but I usually start making all the packing lists right after I book, then I make up a list of "to buys"and take a day and go get these items or add a few to my weekly shopping list . Then I put them in the closet and there they stay until the week before and then I pack( usually if the kids( 5&7)are occupied with something else) otherwise I would have everything We don't need as well as a few suprisesthat they snuck in!

I started all ready and we are not leaving until late August. I like to know what I have to buy so we dont run out at the last minute. Plus I cant resist a good summer clearance sell.
