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 generally pack 2-3 days ahead. this way, the night before the trip, i can go through the bag and assess what is actually necessary and what is my panicked-overpacking. when i pack the night before, i tend to take 6x the amount of things i actually need.
