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?

heh. I'm usually unpacked within about 30 minutes of getting home (unless it's ungodly late). Often that's because I need to wash most of the clothes I took. And I need my bathroom stuff.

Packing involves the putting away of clothing, which I pretty much abhor. It's beneath cleaning the washroom when it comes to domestic activities. I have no idea why - I just find it so damn exhausting. I need a valet - to pick out my clothes and to put them away for me.
