Preparing for Travel

my roomie starts as early as a month ahead, I'm lucky if I can start a couple of weeks I'm going for a week in May and while I'm thinking about what I need to take, I'm not agonizing over it yet!

Wow! friend your husband is nice and they already packed everything. Friend I will wait for your returning. I am not prepared my bag several days before because everytime my train is missed out if I make a plan several days before so I prepared my bag only some hours before. Hahaha because my journey is always in short distance my husband not like more journey and long distance journey. Happy Journey my friend

I usually pack my things a week before I travel. This is to avoid anyrush and to avoid forgetting the most important things to be brought. Enjoy your manila trip.

hello simplyd, I prepare my luggage the day before. But if i have to travel at night,i can prepare hours before the travel time. I don't prepare things too early. I prefer to prepare things just hours before,to make sure that i am not forgetting anything. My mind is pro-active with things that are needed and all i have to do is gather all things and packed up. Enjoy your trip and again Congrats to your daughter and of course,take the most of it...parents deserves the effort as well

Me I dont get too excited it's not my type, in a trip I pack my bags few hours before leaving. I remember I went to Cebu just to hear mass at the Sto. Nino shrine I left Cagayan de Oro at noon arrived at cebu attend the mass early morning and then fall in line to a waiting crowd to rever the statue and eat my lunch way to Park Mall and relaxed at Starbucks to wait for my ride bak to Cagayan de Oro City, it was a nice short trip.

It is typical that men start packing at the last possible moment. But there are some control freaks who like to be organised and prepared. My roomie is one of the above said people. Even my girlfriend is one of them

I hope that you and your husband have a lovely time in Manila seeing your daughter at the time of her graduation. I make a packing list about three weeks before my trip. I go shopping for any other things I need for my trip. Then two weeks before my trip I have a go at packing my stuff and consider whether or not it is too heavy. Then I have plenty of time before my trip to get it easy enough to manage. A few days before my trip I have everything ready for my journey. Last minute acts them to be my children's drinks for our journey. I have my disabled son is a wheelchair which I have to push.

I'm usually the OC type and I prefer to prepare for a trip at least 2 days before. Especially if the trip requires me, my husband and my 1 year old daughter. I need enough time to list down the things that we'll need and I had to make sure that I won't have to cram a day before. I guess excitement is also one of the reasons why I tend to prepare a few days before the exact date of travel.

I am happy to hear this Dina, enjoy the trip, bus journey is tedious usually, but hubby is there with you, it must be air-conditioned with push back seats I start packing well one week in advance, never to regret i left this or that.. Blessings to your daughter.. Thanks for sharing Cheers. God bless you, have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. .

I usually prepare our clothes the night before, but I still make a mental notation of what items I need to pack. A few days before, I usually buy some snacks for us to take while traveling. Food and water are quite expensive in ports or stations. It saves us some money which we can use in our travel.

When we have trip with my wife, its either my wife prepare for me or I will prepare it at the same day that we need to go. That's why sometimes she got mad to me if I forget something. But SYMPLYD, your husband is doing the right things. Preparing earlier is avoiding everything in rush. If you prepared as early as you can, the more peace of mind you will have.
