We may have some latent hostility issues or a need for some food from Guy Fieri...

So… not everyone waits until an hour before leaving to pack??

Oh I do! For sure

I'm one of two people:
pack 3 weeks ahead of time
or
pack the night before

there's no in between

Depends on the type of vacation and how long I’m gone plus if I am traveling within the same season. All of that matters.

Ok ok fine I'll start getting my stuff together tonight!! Sheesh

To be fair, you have a solid list - that certainly helps the process

I have a backpack with everything but clothes in it, but it's still ready the night before.

 

[Shenanigans90]

I pack the night before a trip and have something for every occasion possible. I generally come home without wearing 75% of things packed.

I feel as I could have said this and the more I travel the more I try not over pack and pare down.

The struggle is real for me.

I’m a pack the night before .. or the day before and then repack it the night before bc I’m sure I forgot something.. and then I redo it I once more right before going to bed just in case

 

[Shymidwestgirl]

The struggle is real for me.

I will not admit how many shirts I’ve packed for 5 days to go to breakfast because I’ll be in a swimsuit all day (eat lunch at the pool or beach) and put a sundress on for dinner.

 

[peekingone]

I make a list days before. Depends on my travel, golf trip days before as lots to bring and very weather depending. Simple trips day before. I rarely overpack.

Im so ashamed at my slacking after reading this. Toiletry bag check. How many days am I gone? 5? OK. 1,2,3 4 5 shirts. Repeat process for socks underwear and pants.

That's how I pack for National Park trips!
x days - bike shorts
x days - oversized t-shirts
x days - socks
x days - emotional support tank tops

I spend far more time packing snacks for those trips!

And don’t get me started on shoes… if it was this simple…

You make me feel so much better !!!

Now I will say if I know im flying....I wear my running arm bag which holds the ID and cards. I wear sweatpants or shorts that don't need a belt and sandals or no lace shoes. Zero in my pockets ....in and out of the security line

I generally do a max of two pairs of shoes per trip. Though I think I only had two when going to Puerto Rico because it was January and I couldn’t go to the airport in flip flops.

Of course depends on what the trip’s for - if I’m going to a special occasion, there might be as many as three!
