How early do you pack?

[Jessica.]

If you are going on a trip/holiday how early do you pack for it and are you usually well prepared or do you just go with the flow?

I am visiting Ireland next week and I don't have anything packed or planned yet. I am going for 13 days with just a carry-on bag, I don't know how I'm going to manage that.

[Smithy]

Usually a day or two beforehand when it’s going home, when I went on holiday last year I started a couple of weeks beforehand bc I just KNEW there’d be something I’d forget if I didnt

[Calderyon]

Night before.

[AnnieK]

I usually pack literally just before I go but I will have the stuff I am taking all together but just don't put it into a case until just before I am due to leave to try and minimise creasing. If I have a very early flight I'll do it last thing before going to bed

[Ashley.]

I usually just leave my suitcase open in the corner of the room and put clothes and accessories in it over the course of a couple of weeks until it's full. I can't pack all at once in case I end up needing something out of it, and I can't pack the night/day before purely because I'll feel as though I've forgotten something.

I'm leaving for New York this Friday and I've yet to start :worry:

I will tomorrow though.

[kirklancaster]

I make a thorough 'Hit List' of everything I need at least a week before I'm due to depart so it gives me time to add to it if I remember anything else.

I work out full outfits which I might wear for each day - according to what type of a trip it is that I'm going on.

I've always found that proper preparation pays off in every facet of life. It suits
me, anyway.

For holidays I pack a few days before, hate being in a rush. Also, as I travel quite a bit for work I have a bag permanently packed with essentials and just pack some clothes before I go.

[Niamh.]

Usually the night before or that day if the flight isn't too early. It's great because now my youngest is 14, i only have to pack my own bag again, liberation :love:

this I know what I am taking and it is all washed and ready but just not in the case

[Eddie.]

I start packing three nights before the trip, and finish the night before, sometimes the morning of the day if my flight departs at night...

[Glenn.]

Or ally a couple of days before. I’m going away next week and I’ve got the case in my room ready to start. Got to buy all new because I’m a weight losing champion.

Pretty much this :clap1:
It's best to be well organised :)

[Josy]

[montblanc]

night before :joker:

although i kind of already have the idea of what i'm taking

[Amy Jade]

If it is a long holiday I usually get new clothes so I pack them as I buy them but if it is for a weekend away or a dance comp either the day of or night before.

[armand.kay]

I literally packed for my holiday last year 2 hours before leaving

[Jay28jay2]

I plan what i'm going to take and wear for what day, then pack everything on the night before or same day depending on the time I leave

[andybigbro]

The night before

[GoldHeart]

The night before

13 day that a bit unlucky :nono:

[Glenn.]

I’m packing Sunday morning. We fly out Monday morning.

[michael21]

We should all stop replying to this thread as she clearly packing

[MTVN]

Unless you're going away for weeks on end then packing shouldn't take more than an hour at most so don't see the urgency. Plus what if you decide you want something a couple of days before you go and you've already packed it, might as well do it all in one go just before you leave

Even when going away to Uni for months I would just pack the say before I left or on the morning
