Leaving in *1* week, should I pack now?

[WeLoveLilo05]

I can't take the excitement anymore and I just want to start packing now, do you think this is a wise decision? haha. I have one more final on Tuesday (we leave Thursday) and fiance's parents will be here this weekend so I wonder when I will have time?

We leave in 11 days and I have been packed for weeks! Now granted we have two adults and 2 children going but I couldn't stand the thought of forgetting something. So, in my opinion it's not too early to pack!

You're about 6-8 weeks behind my usual timing! That said, I have a basket in our front closet where I'm stashing things for the next trip regularly.

Well I have 4 bags in my room filled with cereal, water, hand sanitizer, shampoos, juice juice, etc and my room looks messy with it so I just want to stick in the luggage already....along with my clothes

Why not? It's part of the fun. However, after a few trips, you'll find less is more. But sometimes a lesson learned is from experience. So go ahead...pack and try to take one or two things...out. You'll find with time it's better.

Considering I leave in 5 weeks and I'm starting to put together my list and round up any non-daily-use things on it...I'd say yes!

I leave in 30 days 1/2 my stuff is already packed...Ok, I'm a freak!

LOL - I always start packing on the first of the month that I'm going. So for example, since we're going 10/24 I will start packing on 10/1! I know I'm weird but with 2 adults and 2 kids I need to get a head start and make sure I have everything that I need.

We were just down for a long weekend at the end of March and I never fully unpacked, since we leave in 28 days. I ALWAYS have a toiletry bag packed, you know just in case, so all I have to do is throw a few clothes in a bag and run out the door.

I've started packing for my trip that's over 4 months away. I think I'm secretly hoping I'll hit the lottery before then and be able to go down early...and stay!

We leave in a less than 5 weeks and I have started packing...

the best idea I have gotten off the dis boards was a shoe hanger for a door. We hung it on the bathroom door and put all our miscellaneous items (make up, hair stuff, meds, etc...) It left the sink area clean and we were able to keep everything organized! I just bought one at walmart for $7.97 for my trip to Disneyland next month. I'll never take another trip to DL or WDW without it!

Should you start packing?? Yes, of course you should start packing!! I've been packing for 6 weeks now but I am a control freak so I really can't help myself!!

What? You're not packed already!!!!!!!
Just kidding.....

I usually start packing about 6 weeks in advance. My family and friends think I'm nuts but I like starting early. It makes me feel good!

I've already started to buy things for our September trip.

We are packing this weekend and are leaving on Friday

 

[cannonballer]

[ancestry]

My kids packed their bags when we were over 3 months out! LOL!

WE leave Saturday morning, I just started packing today, it took me a few days to get everything washed since it decided to finally warm up around here and the boys have wanted to wear shorts. The clothes are piled in my room next to the suitcases and my dresser has all the toilitries and snacks on top of it, its a bit of an eye sore right now, but will eventually make it in the bags by tommorrow night. I like to wait to pack until the night before so I stay nice and busy and can't worry about things going wrong.

If I start to pack too soon, I end up taking way too much.

Have a wonderful trip, and good luck on your final, I just finished my last one Monday.

 

[Crisgw]

I am finishing up packing Saturday. I'm about 85% done with the boys and DH and I haven't started! We leave EARLY Sunday!

 

[froggygrrrl]

You all are scaring me! We leave next Friday and I am planning on starting to pack next Thursday night! And I'll STILL leave a few things for Friday. It would drive me insane to look at packed bags with nowhere to go for weeks!

Now, a list on the other hand...well, I've been building that for quite a while. So I'm not completely crazy, right?
