One more Sleep and I still haven't packed!

[IheartAriel]

Anyone else out there a procrastinator in the packing department? I just hate packing, loathe it actually. I wish I could just show up at the resort and it all be there good and ready for me but we all know that's not possible.

So am I alone in the wait to the last minute to pack category? Throw in some shorts, some t-shirts along with some flip flops and we're off to the World! Bring on the Mouse!

You better! We're a fun little close-knit group that at times can be dysfunctional (but only on Sygmund Freud Fridays) and each day one of us embarks on our trips so its fun to keep track of everyones adventures. Now stop reading my post-and go pack!!

How exciting!! I must be crazy then, because my suitcase has been up for a month now and I have some things that I just bought to wear on my trip in it already and I don't leave for 39 more day! LOL

I love packing.. its part of the excitement.. I hate being nervous about forgetting anything though.

Yep that's me - I hate packing! And I especially hate UNpacking.

Luckily for me I'm taking a bunch of clothes over to my parents house to wash before my trip (the coin operated machines in my apartment building are expensive and don't even clean my clothes ) I don't plan on unpacking them before we go

The only things I have "packed" are the various travel-sized items I bought from Walmart. I also have Disney t-shirts stacked ontop of my dresser.

My flight is at 7:05am but I'm sure I'll still be packing last minute things at like 4am when I need to leave my apt by 4:30am.

Surprisingly we are all set, LOL. I used to travel alot for work so I have a very good idea of what we need so I can grab it quick and get it all packed. However were also have a vacation philosophy of "if we don't have it or we forgot it we just buy it" As much planning as I can do there is always something I have forgotten so I just go with that philosophy, lol.

We leave in 5 hours so I'll find out soon enough what I have forgotten

OMG I would stroke out! I have lists and lists and lists. The luggage comes out a month prior and I start throwing stuff in and cross it off the lists as I go. Actually, I brought out a carryon about 3 months ago and started putting stuff in that too.

Surprisingly the only thing I forgot/didn't pack were gym shoes. So I bought some cute new Mickey Mouse gym shoes and socks at Hollywood Studios for my souvenir. Problem solved

Had to interject and let you know I laughed with your post!

I actually start packing at least three months ahead of our trip. Yes....three months! Let the laughter begin!

I usually cannot pack our clothes until September hits because we're still wearing our shorts & capris, but I start to gather tolietries, power cords, etc. I double and triple check my list before I even begin to pack.

I know....I'm sad.


Enjoy your trip!!!!

I took my kids to Niagara Falls last weekend. We left at 4 in the morning and the boys were laid down in the back of the van to continue sleeping. Guess what I forgot?!? Their shoes!!! I couldn't believe it. BUT....I found a Target along the way and picked them up some inexpensive flip-flops for the two day trip.

I just couldn't believe it....me, the super packer and organizer forgetting shoes!!!

I start at about seven days before the trip. I am paranoid every time that I will forget something important, so I give myself time to find everything I need and do some laundry. Packing, for me, is part of the excitement. Once that suitcase is down from the attic, I'm all smiles.

You sound like my DH. Who will pack the morning of? He used to do that. but now with 3 kids later, I dont think that would work for us.
I am like pack.repack.pack.repack until I got everything I need/want inside the bag. I guest the reason I did that is we are a budget family. we cant afford to buy much anything during our vacation. So we got everything with us (including Mickey gifts to the kids) in our luggage. I enjoyed packing and unpacking while we get there. I got my DS to help me. He is obsessed with organization like his mother... We had fun together. My DH pretty much just shows up and get on the airplane. I guest we work well that way. hahhaa

We pack the night before. Any sooner is a disaster waiting to happen.
