Aloha Friday Vacation Packing

If you’ve never heard of it, it started over on An Island Life.

I ask a question….I answer it….and then you answer it too!
Sound like fun?
___________________________________________
So, for this week’s question:

Q: When traveling do you pack way in advance or do you throw it all together right before?

A: Me? I always wait until the night before to pack the bulk and then in the morning all the stuff I use daily.

    I usually start in advance. I have a checklist of what needs to be packed. I don’t have many clothes, so that usually has to wait until the night before.

  2. Tamara says

    I always intend to back beforehand but inevitably I always end up the entire night before we leave packing!

  3. Sheena says

    I plan in advance (in my head) and throw everything together the day before. I don’t plan on doing it this way… it just happens. DOH!

  4. I am just like you although I do make list so I don’t forget anything, but I hate to choose my clothes too far in advance.

  5. The Social Frog says

    I tend to pack way in advance so that I don’t forget something!

  6. I throw it together all at the last moment!

  7. It depends on where we’re going and what I need to take with me – sometimes I’ll start packing way in advance when they’re things I don’t need in between, but usually it happens the way you do it – the night before and adding the daily ‘stuff’ the morning of. 🙂

  8. Harriet says

    It really depends on how excited, which is usually not very, I am to be going somewhere.

    Have a great day!

  9. I’m a procrastinator and I usually think I have all the time I need. 🙂 So it’s just enough time to get it all done. I should stop that though. Less stress. But do I learn? no.

  10. And Happy Mother’s Day

  11. pack in advance for the kids
    in a rush for me

  12. Becca says

    Depending on when I am leaving I pack the night before or the day of. If I pack any earlier I forget what I packed and have to check….so basically I end up packing twice.

  13. Jennifer H says

    I make a checklist and typically pack the week I leave, except toiletries which are last of course.

  14. Katie says

    totally pack in advance. My husband doesn’t pack until the day before/day of and it drives me up a wall!

  15. I make a list in advance but don’t usually pack until right before. Mainly because of laundry!

  16. Oh yes, I pack way in advance. I usually look forward to vacations, and get to excited so I have to makes lists so I don’t forget anything and then start packing mine, and after I packed it a couple times I start packing my husband’s, and then I clean out the car, get an oil change you know get the car ready & more stuff too I’m sure at least a month in advance maybe more. I know I’m crazy, but that’s half the fun.

  17. Deborah says

    I’m a wait till the last minute type to pack, but I do a good job and hardly ever forget anything.

  18. I do a little of both.. I start packing and planning early, but never finish until the last minute.

  19. Erica G says

    I usually start in advance with a list, but I always end up furiously packing at the last minute.
