Packing
 

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

*breathes*

I usually fly on Aer Lingus but my dad booked RyanAer this year for some reason! And they only allow 15kg! On Aer Lingus I get on about 23+ on a 20 limit but they never mind! But RyanAer always mind! And they only allow 1 bag each!

I have 25kg between 1 carry on and 1 suitcase. But I usually pack all my clothes and stuff all my books/DVDs/Shoes elsewhere! And this isn't even counting my laptop! So with 25 kg I need to pack the following:


Tops
Shorts/jeans
Dresses
Shoes
Accesories
Pj's
Toilerties
Laptop
Other(playsuits,waistcota etc)
Dvd's
Basic's-mp3,phone,chargers etc.

My brain is about to explode! I just can't do it! And its for 3 weeks! Stupid fecking stupid RyanAer!!!

[/rant]

So yes,anyone else hate packing?

Lol I dont mind it

btw if its a holiday, you wont need DVD's and stuff:bigsmile:

I love it! I have several lists planned out and printed off for different types of things, e.g clothes, toiletires etc. You should calculate a rough weight, decide on what you probably wont bring back (suncream) and what you will bring home (alcohol!) Im telling you, its the only way to prepare. :thumbs:

I do! I'm always awake in the middle of the night,and I can't go out every night! I'm not exactly rich. This is my 17th time to Portugal and I don't wanna go because its just gone past being boring now!

Hah I'm not even bringing suncream! I have far too many clothes.

Actually yeah I see, I actually took DVD's to watch at night on me last one too :laugh:

I just stuff stuff in the cases xD

Ahhh I just looked up my laptop weight and its 4.3kg,thats practically half my carry on! *bangs head on desk*

See, im good arent I? Always prepare :kiss: how much handluggage are you allowed?

10kg. And I was planning to put shoes,jeans,books and my laptop in it! Thats so not gonna happen.. I'm a crap organiser,I'm a 'just-in-case' packer,which AerLingus have allowed me to be for my whole life! You're lucky being organised!

LOL, wear as much clothes as you can :thumbs:

Hah,yeah I'm planning to! I'm stuffing all my accesories in/on a jacket! :laugh:

I LOVE packing! I don't know why but it gives me some satisfaction.

You don't live that far away Aaron,fancy popping over :laugh:

Me too! Its very therapeutic and takes away my stress :bouncy:

Love packing. It's that feeling of excitement that I'm going on holiday! The worst bit is unpacking when you get home! :rolleyes:

Only if I can go to Portugal with you and get away from this crappy weather :thumbs::laugh:

Sure! You can stay instead of me,I'll stay here with all my clothes and crappy Irish weather! :tongue:

We've got a deal! I'll be there as soon as I can! I'll just go get my swimming trunks and a shovel and spade.

:dance:

Im like that Laura i cant even pack lol i just let my mum do it and let me concentrate on my hand lugage then she shouts at me because ive got too much hand luggage lol

I quite like packing, I'd never let my mum do it. I like to know where everything is and that I've got everything I want.

I was a couple of kg's over when I went away last year but they seemed to just let my bag through.

Can't you just put some of your stuff in other people's hand luggage? Surely if you've got a little brother he won't be taking too much hand luggage? Then you can get it back on the plane.

I am an organised packer for holidays. I even know the weight of my empty case lol, last year I bought lighter cases to allow me to take more with me. I take what I need and nothing more, I take one bottle of suntan lotion and buy more when I get there along with after sun and throw it away before coming home.

This year I paid a small supplement to allow me a slightly bigger luggage allowance, speak to the airline and see how much increased weight will cost you.

lol I could never go on holiday and not go to a pub/club every night lol but anyways I love packing, can you not put loads of stuff in your parent's cases or take two cases LOL i can just imagine you now walking through portugal airport with like 5 cases :tongue:

LOL, yep I hate packing
I was told to always pack in order of priority so I once started with passport, shoes :blush2::hugesmile: errrmmm ect.
When I got to the airport I realised the full embarrasing extent to the flaw in this packing plan was.
After I had dug through half my entire knickers and bra draw I was able to give the very amused passport control guy my documents, the people behind me were not so understanding :spin::blush2:

*cough*Monica*cough*

Nah my mum and dad have like all full up suitcases and carry-on's. My brother is going to Malaga and coming a week later so I have to fend all by myself!
