i usually pack about a week before then the night before go thru it all and take out what i dont need and stuff or add something i forgot...
I pack the night before. I've made it easy over the years now, I have a checklist for every item I take and just follow that so I don't forget anything. First Item on the list is my Drinking Mug of course.
I pack the week before, is when I actually pull out the suitcase. And thenight before is when I try things on and see what I am going to bring with me
I leave Feb 20th and this past weekend I started to do my laundry. I pulled out the suitcase and put it in the spare room with the clean clothes I intend to bring. I wont add to it untill the weekend before, I do this to see if I have enough shorts and if I can find my flip-flops from the last trip. I realized this weekend I will have to go buy some new shorts and flip-flops as I think I left them in Jamaica on my last trip. This is bothersome because I live in Canada and flip-flops are seasonal, meaning I will have to search long and hard to find a store that has them in the middle of winter.
