[Questions]

When would you start packing for a holiday in Europe on September 2nd ?


Mrs Q has started tonight.

September 1st. 20 minute job.

Shove a few essentials in and buy all the toiletries there and leave them there far less hassle.

I thought there was a cost of living crisis ?

 

[Goring-by-Seagull]

We fly September 8th. Will be packing mainly the night before, but doing the odd few last bits in the morning - don't fly until 5pm. I don't understand packing so early. Unless you have SO many clothes- If I packed now I wouldn't have anything to wear for a month!

I think my wife started packing for our Caribbean cruise in March, last week!

We go Tuesday and the cases are out in the spare room with piles of ironing to be done! Although just bought snorkels, beach shoes etc…which may be a tad heavy!

Started getting stuff together for November Canary Islands cruise and digging out Caribbean shirts etc for January cruise!

:


Can now go outside school holidays for half the price.

Evening of September 1st, or morning of the 2nd depending what time the flight is.

I have a huge list and it freaks me out if I haven't ticked everything off as it goes in the case.
My Mrs is usually just starting to pack 10 minutes before we need to set off to the airport.

What's a holiday?

 

[Weststander]

1st Sept.
But gathering paperwork a few days beforehand.

We don't have spare bedrooms. I know people who do, where (always the wife) packing starts many weeks beforehand, in the spare room. [Info from husbands mentioning about unnecessary stress levels at home in the build up.

Why the rush? I normally like to spend a little longer on my No. 2s

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

I normally make sure I have all the paperwork in order a couple of weeks beforehand ( tickets, dog health check appointment- cheers Brexit, insurance etc) and then my wife had my packing “options” on my bed ready to select from the night before we leave. Even managed a home haircut from Miss SSB in the garden 6am before we left the house at 7am this year .

Half your luggage
Double your spending money
Job done.

Us women have to start packing early to see if last years clothes still fit, and either buy new, or try to lose a few pounds before now and departure.

I go on holiday on the 2nd September too. After reading your post, I’ve got my case out, I’ll write my ‘holiday clothes’ list out later. I’m glad I’m not the only one that likes to start packing early!
