How long do you start to pack before you travel?

me? i pack my back a day before the travel... lol im really just like that... but ill always put in paper the things i must bring...

I tend to start packing the week before a trip, and then make some last minute adjustments the night before I'm leaving. I always overpack, and end up taking too much stuff, most of which I don't need or end up using.

I usually start packing a few days before I go, just to make sure that I have everything. First I made a list of all the stuff i want to take, then I get my luggage ready, and then I start filling it up. The last thing I pack is my computer, and cellphone, because those are the last things I use before I leave.

Hello wondericequeen, I always pack my stuff a night before I need to travel. Sometimes I can get very forgetful. If I do it too early, I might forget about a lot of things. Even if I do it last minutes too, I still forget to put all the stuff

Definitely a few days before. I like to plan and be organised. My husband does everything last minute. I can't stand the stress of 'at the last minute'.

I am a procrastinator, so I usually pack the night before. I have never gone a trip that was longer than two weeks, so packing the night before isn't really a big deal. I do, however, forget things such as a toothbrush or something little like that. But if I were to go on a trip longer than two weeks, I'd probably make a list and start packing 1 or 2 days prior.

I am a seasoned traveler, and have been traveling more than 20 years, usually at least twice a year. I usually have a checklist of things to bring along for a holiday, so packing for me is relatively easy. Most times, I will pack only hours before I go off to the airport to fly off. That's enough for me, and I usually don't forget to bring essential things on my trip. My checklist ensures that the important items are usually included in my packing.

When I am traveling I usually start packing the day before. If I pack too early, I always tend to forget something important. And this way I can get all my errands done with out rushing around making sure I have everything I need before leaving.

I should start a week in advance, but I start the day before and then I'm missing lots of stuff. But medications and things I use every day, I really can't pack until the day before. Tends to make things hectic when I do that.

i only traveled to camp and erie we only travel by car but i pack a couple days before , i make a list so i dont forget anything with 4 kids and a husband its easy to forget things, this year we are going to be going all diffrent places so we may pack a week before.

I ussualy pack the day or night before. Howver I am always getting what I need for the store like torites, new choles, or anything ealse early.

I make a list of things I am going to need about a month before the trip so that I can go through what I have and buy the things I need. I start packing about a week before the trip. I have my list and go by that and as I put things in the suitcase, I mark it off the list. And I tend to add more items to this list as I am packing. :)

I start to pack at least a week before so I have exactly what I want in my case and nothing is left behind that I really want to take. mgraham126

I usually pack my things when i travel on the night before i left. this results to a lot of problems like leaving important stuff. but i can't change this habit of mine so i always end up with a lot of problems.

I'm an awful gotta planner, so as soon as I know I'll be going somewhere already I start packing, and then keep fussing with it up until the last minute. Even if it is a year ahead, already I'm putting little things in my suitcase.

Only a day before. I really find it difficult to pack too far in advance as I might need stuff which I have packed away. What I take with me also depends on my mood so I might pack one thing too early then replace it with an entirely different thing the day before the trip. However, I compensate for the last minute rush by having a prepared list of essentials so that I do not forget anything. Packing has become gradually easier for me because I am learning to travel lightly and to carry more money than clothes!

It depends on the trip - is it a trip which is 1 night long or a week or .... If it's a trip where I sleep somewhere else only for one night I often pack my stuff maybe 1 hour before I have to leave... If it's a longer trip I start to think about what I have to take with me and such, right after I know WHEN I'll go.. sometimes I start to make a list very soon. And then again it depends on how far the trip goes.. if I have to travel a long time until I get to the destination I start packing earlier.. let's say, one week before the trip. BC I don't want to miss anything... I'm not a typical girl who need thousands of little things so I don't have that much to pack but I want to be ready...but often I still get stress bc of thinking: Well, I can buy that later... and later becomes the day before leaving and when its sunday...well, that is a problem LOL

Well for me it depends on where I am going, like when we went on our first cruise a couple years ago. I started packing like a month before we left for our trip, I was really excited to go. But like if we are just going to my grandmas house for the weekend, i wont pack until like 20 minutes before we leave. lol. For me it just depends :)

I think I don't require a lot of time to pack my materials. I just get my bags and keep some cloths in it. And I don't think it is difficult. Difficult thing is to remember that we have taken each and every thing which is necessary during our trip, because it happen that we forgot soap, brush, towel, etc. Even I do such silly mistakes once forgot my soap and then purchased a new one.

I prepare first my things one day before i go, and then at the night i pack it so that no thing i left, i only consume almost 30 mins ot 50 mins, i also do that for so that no important thing we forget to bring.
