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

[Ashleee:)]

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.

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!

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

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.

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

[Legend]

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.

[stacey]

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

[AngRemembered]

LOL, yep I hate packing
I was told to always pack in order of priority so I once started with passport, shoes 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
