Jen, I am one of those last minute packers. And it is NO problem for us ...... oh, and I do not use any lists either. If you keep in mind that we usually travel for 4 weeks that's not bad, is it?

Ok, I'm still WAY behind on your PTR............ but I just had to chime in........

You got 10 days! LOL

THAT was SERIOUSLY funny!

Humor in truth. She'll wonder I bet. She's a picky underwear kid and if her favorites are missing I'll get whined at to "find" them.

Want to help me pack on Sunday?? I'll have about 4 hours to get it all done.

I'm afraid Kadence will notice something dumb like all of her underwear missing. LOL

I once forgot to pack underwear. It was VERY difficult finding Adult sized underwear in Disney! Thankfully I noticed the first afternoon we were there!

I am a night before packer. I am so bad. I try and makes lists and pack days in advance but it never works. I hate packing. No matter how organized I am I ALWAYS forget something important! It also takes me weeks to UN-Pack.

 

[that's nice]

Probably just as hard as finding a birthday card.

I have dresses in the garment bag! I keep wanting to pack, but life keeps getting in the way...of course I'm not leaving in 13 days!!!

We need to start packing. I actually have to pack a carry on tomorrow for my Monday night flight to Indiana.

You better get moving!!!

Too funny. That would Skip, wondering where his holey underwear is.

it is!

Nice extra money on the cans.

I hate packing. This trip, I put my outfits together the week before, and then figured what I needed to add when I finally started the actual packing (extra t-shirts). It seems I always forget something, however.

Every little bit helps.

I have Claires outfits all laid out. Mine is another story. I will have to do laundry, but I want to get through the cruise before I have to do it.

You should make a packing list and check things off when you pack them. Sometimes that's the only way I can remember anything

I know. I would forget to check it off though.

You go girl! I think my biggest problem is trying to separate things into parts of the trip...and packing a weeks worth before doing laundry. LOL

You got 10 days! LOL

Tell her you are behind on laundry. Or go buy another package and she'll be all excited to wear the new stuff.

I had a dream the other night that I forgot to pack underwear and chargers for my electronics. I was more upset about the chargers.

I bet it was almost impossible and very expensive. LOL

I am going to tackle some more. I should get more done today. I am also packing a lot in zip lock bags to keep it more organized ...or thats my theory at least.

Probably just as hard as finding a birthday card.

She probably had to go to the gas station to find them!

After searching DTD high and low I found some in the gift shop. Pretty sure it was like $15 a pack! I learned my lesson......on my trip to NYC I forgot to pack socks.

WOW!!!!!
My Mom was telling me last night how several years ago her and some friends went to Toronto for a weekend trip. For some reason, one of her firends thought it was just a day trip and only brought an extra blouse amd toothepast and brush.
So she said they had to search for underwear and a few other things to get her through the weekend. She said that wasn't bad, but the thing was her firend would only wear a certain kind of underwear, and that made it harder to find.

I'd be more upset with forgetting the chargers too.

Good news, packing is close to done. And a problem I was worried about has hopefully been resolved. I worried about space. I have 2 big suticases and 1 medium. Well the biggest one is not full, but close to 50lbs, so I can't add more to it, even though there is room too. The medium is full, but only about 30 lbs. I would say my other big one, once I get it fuilled with the rest will be somewhere around 30 -40 lbs. I worried more about space to bring things home. Well Mom lent me one of her big suitcases, as she has plan s to go and buy more matching luggage and this one doesn't match. So now I have more room and can replace the medium with this one. I amy still throw the rolling duffle insdied to have extra space for the trip home, but I feel better have 3 large suitcases.
I plan to do a little rearranging today and get it settled till I have to throw in the last minute things.

I also got a few more pairs of socks for me and some for Claire too last night. I noticed most of her socks either were too small or school socks, which are fine, but she basically needed new socks. I always need new socks because I have horrid feet that must have razor blades on the bottom, as I wear holes in them.

I am pretty sure Claire knows that our first night is at AKL. She keeps asking, and I keep telling her I can't say. She then mentioned a few nights ago that she knows it has something to do with the Animal Kingdom. I played it off and said something like "Why would we sleep in the park with the Animals?" LOL
Last night we had dinner with my parents and my Mom asked me which resort our cousin Katie was staying in. I told her Animal Kingdom Lodge ...and I herad Claire gasp, but she didn't say anything. I think she just put 2 and 2 together.

We are all wondering how this trip wil lbe with my Dad. If you read my TR last year where we traveled with him, you know he is quite a character ....and set in his ways.

He is such a structured kind of person. Goes by a routine and hates when things are changed. I told him about a week ago that when you cruise, you have to go with the flow, and his response was just like a kid. "NO, I will not go with the flow, I will not". I don't think he has a choice, but oh well.
I also warrned him the other night that when he ordered food, like steak, on the cruise to be sure to ask for no sauce. He wanted to know why, and I told him that a lot of foods come with a sauce ....thats 'fancy' dining. He went off about why in the world would anyone ruin food by adding sauces to them. My Mom and I just laughed and we'll have to be sure to check what he orders so we don't hear him gripe about some foreign sauce ruining his food.
I'm sure I'll have some funny stories to tell, and then some things that totally irritate the heck out of me too.

Claire would beleive the laundry story too.
Skip loves is stretched out hoely undies. My mo msaid she was bringin my Dads worst pairs and jsut throwing them away and he about had a fit when she said that.

Chargers are so important. So important in fact that I am willing to pay $75 for a replacement on a trip. I sure hope I never have to do that again.

 

[vleeth]

Glad you got your suitcase situation under control!

Sounds like Claire is growing up and is more able to figure out your plans now. They grow so fast!

I am pretty much done now excpet for last minute things. I can sigh relief there! I am under weight in all of them, but I also packed a duffle ...just in case.

 

[KatMark]

Glad you got another large suitcase to replace the medium....definitely more room to bring stuff home.

I remember your last trip with your dad...it was interesting.

Yes. Its in my signature. A hop, no skip one.

I guess I'm a total slacker when it comes to packing because I never get any of it done until a few days before the trip. I applaud you for starting already!

You talking about your daddy is getting me tickled. I can't wait to hear the stories you come back with.

Just sent you a p.m.

He is a bit goofy. In fact he told Claire last year that he replaces Goofy when Goofy needs a break.
