I usually pack the evening before the trip. At least that way, I know I won't be forgetting anything. Or if there are some things I need to bring that I'll still be using the following day, at least it stays fresh on my mind. happy


myLot reputation of 90/100. sharie16 (591)   ranked 283 out of 3,814 in travel  5 months ago

yeah that was advisable enough for us not to get in rush...

Thanks for the post! Have a nice day!happy

Hi friend!
The last time i go for a vacation, i did my packing a night before i left. I did write a small list of things i must bring. However, it still end up that i forget to bring some other stuff, i think i should learn from that, right?=P
I love to go for vacation, how about you?


myLot reputation of 90/100. sharie16 (591)   ranked 283 out of 3,814 in travel  5 months ago

yes, i bet you should learn packing wisely and always remember all the stuff you needed...i love taking a vacation but now, can't afford to go to anywherelol...

It depends if it's going to be a long trip or not. Sometimes, I's pack a couple of hours before leaving. Needless to say, it was a real rush. rasp If it's a long trip (say 2 or more weeks) I usually pack a day or two before just to make sure that I don't forget anything. There was one time I almost forgot to bring money with me (haha! Of all things to forget noh?)Well... at least I was able to realize early on that I was missing the most important thing. haha... blush


myLot reputation of 90/100. sharie16 (591)   ranked 283 out of 3,814 in travel  5 months ago

oh at least you still remember what's missing and not yet too latelol...and you should avoid being on rush for you not to forget important things...

Thanks for the post my friend!happy

About two weeks before I go traveling I write my packing list. Then over the next week I buy extra things that I might need on my trip. I always need to take a pair of ear planes to use when I fly on a plane. Sometimes I will take my snorkeling mask and beach shoes if I am going to a tropical destination. I always take my camera, memory cards and batteries so I check if I have space for new photos that I will on my trip. Then I pack about one week before my trip, that way if my luggage is too heavy I can sort out this problem. If I can't find things that I plan to take with me I put a star next to this item on my packing list. Packing for my trip with my toddler son this summer to go to Latvia was challenging because the airline only allowed baggage up to 15kg. I would be nervous if I packed the day before my departure in case I didn't have every item that I wanted to pack. Happy traveling.


myLot reputation of 90/100. sharie16 (591)   ranked 283 out of 3,814 in travel  5 months ago

you are really well prepared i guess...and i supposed you loved travelling...well anyway thanks for the post! Have a nice day! God bless!happy

Happy travelling, and take care for both of you with your son!happy

Same here. I pack my things a day before or even hours before my trip. I am cramming so bad. I know it's not so good but I keep doing it every time we go on a trip or vacation. I have to change that behavior. Happy posting.


myLot reputation of 90/100. sharie16 (591)   ranked 283 out of 3,814 in travel  5 months ago

yeah, i think you should avoid that behavior-cramming before the trip...thanks for the post!happy

I usually pack about 1 day before for short trips. If it is a long one, or a special one which needs a little more preparation, I'd probably start packing or think about what to bring at least a week before. Somtimes there is a need for bigger luggage and I would hate to repack my things at the very last minute if I find that I can't fit everything in.


myLot reputation of 90/100. sharie16 (591)   ranked 283 out of 3,814 in travel  5 months ago

yes, we should always be prepared and avoid repacking for the last minute...thanks for the post my friend!

Havea nice day! Happy travelling!happy

Hi,nice to meet you here.
I will starting packing my luggage 3 days before if I'm going to traveling. It is because i very scared that i forgot yo packed some things that i need it when I'm traveling. If i pack 3 days before traveling, i still have atleast 2 or 3 days to think what thing that i forgot to pack. Have a nice day and happy my lotting.


myLot reputation of 90/100. sharie16 (591)   ranked 283 out of 3,814 in travel  5 months ago

yeah...that's much better, for us not to forget something important for the trip...

Thanks for the post! Have a nice day! God bless!happy

Depends on where I am going. If it's somewhere in the country, then maybe a day before.

However, if I am going out of the country, at least a week before. Just in case, there are things that I need to get or buy - there could be stuff that I can't get or don't know where to buy, in the country I'll be visiting!


myLot reputation of 90/100. sharie16 (591)   ranked 283 out of 3,814 in travel  5 months ago

i agree, depends on the country and depends if you really love shopping...if so then you have to carry a lil' so that when you're there you can shop as much as you can and not to have to heavy luggage...

Thanks for the post! Have a nice day!happy

depends on where i'm going. if it's a short trip, i can pack the day before. if it's a long trip, say few weeks or months, i like to pack at least a week early. i ALWAYS forget something, even if i pack a month before, so it doesn't really matter much, but if i pack a bit early then i minimize the stuffs left behind..


myLot reputation of 90/100. sharie16 (591)   ranked 283 out of 3,814 in travel  5 months ago

i don't think a month would be advisable...week could be better so the things you packed are still fresh to your mind if what are the things you have packed...

Thanks for the post though...Have a nice day! Happy travelling!happy


myLot reputation of 82/100. inutme (160)   ranked 216 out of 3,814 in travel  5 months ago

i didn't mean that i have tried to pack a month before.. i'm too lazy to do that..


myLot reputation of 90/100. sharie16 (591)   ranked 283 out of 3,814 in travel  5 months ago

sorry for that...i didn't read wellblush...

Anway have a nice day! God bless!happy
