So there's always at least one outfit that doesn't get worn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-over-packer#post-772509 Fri, 10 May 2013 06:25:13 +0000 looch 772509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends...I am pretty good about adhering to the weight restrictions on checked baggage (I have a luggage scale) and I plan obsessively, but I always bring extra, just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-over-packer#post-772440 Fri, 10 May 2013 04:07:45 +0000 Arden 772440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After years on the road, I've mastered this. I totally over pack, but since I've learned to make an absurd amount of stuff fit into one carry-on bag, no one ever knows! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-over-packer#post-772435 Fri, 10 May 2013 04:02:42 +0000 illumina 772435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally! I know that even when I fill my biggest suitcase it will still be under the weight limit, so I always take as much as possible... I panic at the thought of not having enough of something or the right kind of clothes for a situation. Tbh I usually end up taking up some of DH's case as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-over-packer#post-772193 Thu, 09 May 2013 21:55:59 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 772193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My overpacking skills are legendary. Even when I try to edit what I pack my suitcase stills ends up right at 50.0 pounds when it's weighed at the airport. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-over-packer#post-771954 Thu, 09 May 2013 20:32:39 +0000 Koolbreeze 771954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I always overpack. I can't help it. If I try to keep it simple I panic and pack more at the last minute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-over-packer#post-771909 Thu, 09 May 2013 20:16:53 +0000 shopaholic 771909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. I'm really good at fitting everything into a carry-on suitcase, no matter how long the trip is! I've actually become an under-packer the past couple of years and i'll have like 3 bottoms and 1 tee shirt somehow. :/. Now with K though, I'm sure I'll overpack for her! Our first weekend away I sure did overpack clothes and diapers, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-over-packer#post-771881 Thu, 09 May 2013 20:10:19 +0000 Smurfette 771881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!!

DH, on the other hand, is a terrible overpacker. Drives me crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-over-packer#post-771797 Thu, 09 May 2013 19:53:13 +0000 petunia354 771797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely!

I just like my options! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-over-packer#post-771660 Thu, 09 May 2013 19:29:39 +0000 yin 771660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I overpack, and I have no clue how I can fit a week's worth of clothes in a carry on. DH wants us to pack light. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-over-packer#post-771629 Thu, 09 May 2013 19:21:27 +0000 autumnlove 771629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't keep anything simple and I overpack! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-over-packer#post-771623 Thu, 09 May 2013 19:19:38 +0000 chopsuey 771623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be, but I pack super light now.<br /> When it comes to the kids I over pack because you never know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-over-packer#post-771619 Thu, 09 May 2013 19:18:59 +0000 FLnative12 771619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, yes I am.

I'm a total over packer! Are you an over packer or do you keep it simple? </p>
