who's preparing for the trip...

If we're going out just on a day trip, myself and my boyfriend will get things ready such as camera, babies bag etc. If going on holidays abroad, i will get my own clothes packed and my son's things as I know more what to bring for the whole week for him. My boyfriend will then pack his own things.

normailly i would prepare for the trip since i want everything to be ready and so i won't have to worry about what is left and stuffs like that.. i want to make sure everything is ready... i don't want to miss on anything.. sometimes it could be tiresome but what the heck, if it would mean fun for everyone, no problem with me.. :-)

I prepare everything whether its a one day trip or a week long trip. That way I can know that we have everything.

I have been doing most of our packing when it is a long trip. I have to prepare for all needs. However before having my kid when I went with my hubby then I packed the things at home and my hubby has to bring the bag to my office and then we have to go for outing. when I reached the resort I found my clothes changed. He changed it according to his choice. After having a baby, for me and my baby I pack and for my hubby I collect the things at a place and he packs according to his need because whenever we went for a long trip he has to attend some official meetings.

LOL, after being married to hubby for 23 years now, he's learned that it's best not to make comments like that. Rushing the packer just does not work well. All it takes is ONE occurance of leaving HIS underwear at home & they appreciate your packing skills a LOT more, lol. We've taken alot of trips over the years, so I have mine down to a routine. Everything is gathered the day before so hubby can start loading the truck while I make the rounds of the house to make sure I didn't miss anything important. At the same time, I'm making sure that the lights get turned off and the security alarm is turned on. Hubby has the truck warming when I carry down the last of the things we are taking with us. Since hubby has to check under the hood before any long trips, we're both too busy with our assigned tasks for him to even think about saying, "What took you so long?" By being prepared ahead of time, and sharing the tasks, we can typically be on the road within 30 to 45 minutes after waking up, lol. :)

Its me and my dad in our family who is responsible for A to Z when we are going for a trip.Its my mom and brother who are the ones will relax and do nothing.quite annoying for me when we really out in a hurry.Right from ironing, packing, taking the required pills, water , travelling ticket etc., we take care and its a big headache for us sometimes but what to do we are doing for our family and will keep on doing this murmering at them.But will forget once we get into our journey and enjoy the company of family members.

Actually, I just got back from a trip. I was in Arizona for a couple of weeks. I love it!! I had a great time, and I want to go back as soon as possible. I planned it on my own, and flew solo. I needed some time away, and so I just got up and went!

I get everything ready when we go on a long trip. When we go to vist his family in ny, which is 6 hors long!! I pack extra clothes, toys, food, drinks, and snacks. since my children are only 2 and 3 i have to pack a lot of toys and snacks.

I always pack for everyone, but I make my husband pick out his clothes! I hate doing everything but if I wait for him it will never get done. On our last trip I forgot to bring any shorts for my son and any jeans for my daughter. I felt so bad we had to go out and buy them some!! My husband doesn't complain though he is thankful that I am doing everything for him!

I usually prepare everything for everyone. The week before I make sure I talk to my partner about what clothes he wants to take with us so I can make sure that they're washed and clean. I organize the kids clothes, I get them some things to keep them occupied if its a long trip, and I organize routes, especially if I know there may be delays along the way. I try to make sure that the car is packed the night before so that all we have to remember on the day are the essentials such as toothpaste, hair brushes and so on. It makes things so much easier when we can just get up and go without wondering if we packed the kitchen sink lol.

Since my husband works a regular job, I am the one who makes sure everything is ready and packed. As well, since I am the one who is the organizer, and can pack efficiently, I also pack our vehicle to get the maximum effect of things placed where I will need to get to them respectively. I let him do the unloading though.

I prepare everything for the trip. Days before the trip, i would make a list of everything my family will need for the trip. Some i would prepare days in advance, and then some hours before the trip. The things that i have already prepared, i would cross them from my list.

me and my mother...sometimes my mom will forget something so i will make sure or check it if everything is okay...especially the towels, i will bring 3 towels everytime we're going to have a trip because i am sure that one of my family has forgot to bring one!...there is no time that we went for a trip that one of them didn't forget a thing!

I usually do it all. I start making a list of things to take/pack about 3 weeks in advance. Then I start packing 2 days ahead of the trip. Most of the time we travel on our motorcycle so the packing is limited, but we always arrive with what we need and maybe a few extras. It's really the first time he's had someone like me around and he appreciates not having to worry about packing, as he works long days and I work part-time plus starting my own business.

We don't really go anywhere very often but when we do, it's always me who prepares everything. My partner is either at work or doesn't want to come with us when we go anywhere. I don't mind doing things like preparing picnics, etc. but it would be nice if he could at least watch the children while I get things done. Sometimes I'll ask my oldest sone to help with things. We don't drive so the travel is one more thing to arrange. I always do that too. If I leave it to my partner, we'll just get whatever travel tickets and things we need on the day and get places when we happen to be there so I have to arrange it all otherwise we're rushing around for half the day before we do anything!

Normally, I would do prepare the stuffs first before packing it up the bag. I would line it up on the floor and my hubby's duty is to pack the stuffs in the bag. I would be the one who would decide what to bring for the whole family. My hubby always complained that we would be bringing to much for the trip. You know, travelling eespecially with children... There's always going to be accidents like they spill something on their clothes and soil them etc... men just don't understand this sometimes... I prefer my children to look clean rather than eeeky... Men!!

For me eversince I have a child, I'm in charge for all the baby needs etc, My bags and food. My husband is responsible for his own stuff and everything else that we need for the holiday like camera, my son high chair etc... He also normally be the one who decide where and when we go on holiday well we have to go by his schedule as I'm self-employed and do my work from home so I'm more flexible...xx
