Preparing to Vacation

[smg01]

This poll is inspired by the people who have asked me recently if I've "packed yet." I'm leaving on Thursday for Hawaii. It seems that whenever I go on a biggish trip, people start asking up to week before hand if I'm packed. Sometimes this makes me wonder if I'm doing it wrong. Because I always pack the night before. It takes me about fifteen minutes. And it always seems to be a trauma free experience. (I do usually feel like I'm forgetting something--I don't think I ever actually have--but I also usually figure that almost anything I've forgotten can be bought along the way. That's what Mr. Visa is for.) So now I'm wondering, how do others prepare to leave town?

I often don't unpack at all. I live out of my suitcase until it's unpacked simply from my wearing or using everything. *g*

I've done that too!

I think it makes sense. *g* You have to take the stuff out of the suitcase or duffle bag anyway, as you use it. This may be my innate sense of laziness, but we've also traveled on long trips several times and then had to stay in hotels for weeks at a time, so I've lived out of suitcases quite a bit over the years, and it doesn't bother me to do that at home for a while. *g*
