How do you pack for vacation? Are you one of these people who will pack for your vacation a week in advance or do you throw your stuff together at the last minute? Or, are you somewhere in between?

I guess I’m somewhere in between. I usually start planning the thing I need for vacation one or two weeks in advance, but usually don’t actually pack until the night before. I like to make a list of everything I’ll need. I then make sure the clothes on my list are all clean and ready to pack and that I have all the items on my list. After I pack, I always check my list to make sure I have everything.

First on my list is the most important thing, a camera! I always like to take LOTS of photos! I have a cheap camera that I like to take on vacation. It takes great pictures, but I don’t have to worry about losing my expensive camera, if I happen to forget and leave it somewhere. I always pack extra camera batteries, too. I keep it all in a small case that I can wear on my belt.

Some other things I include on my list are clothes for each day, underclothes and socks, shoes, bed clothes, toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, hair dryer, deodorant, lotion, make-up, brush or comb, first aid kit, regular medicines, pain relievers, and anything else I might need…like suntan lotion if I’m going to the beach. I put toiletries in a gallon zip lock bag. I always take a large plastic bag along for dirty clothes.

When packing, I like to roll my clothes, rather than fold them. Rolling leaves fewer wrinkles than folding. I’ve found that if I lay out each outfit for the day and roll all the clothing items together in one roll, I can then just unroll it and I have everything I need for that day together. No searching through the suitcase looking for everything I need. This is a real time saver if you have kids. You won’t always be able to use this method, but it’s good at times.

The most important thing NOT to pack when you go on vacation, is your worries. Be sure to leave those behind and have lots of fun!!
