You can always find a place to do laundry (we've been all over the world and only take carry-on). Plus it's a good excuse to buy something when you're there (we're going to Europe this fall and I'll pack an empty duffel bag just so I can bring home stuff -- mostly food though). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-or-underpack#post-975796 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 13:31:18 +0000 MrsRcCar 975796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I overpack like crazy!! My Dh and family think its funny. I do try to raine it in. Just sometimes it works and others it doesn't. Lol :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-or-underpack#post-975766 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 13:25:37 +0000 Mrs. Bee 975766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think i pack a good amount! i used to be an overpacker though, but we need too much stuff with 2 kids so it's just the essentials! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-or-underpack#post-975759 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 13:24:10 +0000 MsLipGloss 975759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a good packer (although I do go a little overboard with shoes sometimes!), but I always overpack for LO! Mama can do without (or work with repeats), but LOs are just too unpredictable! I'm okay with me *wearing* spit up/puree, but not my little lady! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-or-underpack#post-975736 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 13:16:15 +0000 looch 975736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't call myself an over packer, I am a prepared packer. I have travelled enough to know what's available where I am going and plan accordingly. Sometimes you don't have to pack the entire house, but if you're going somewhere were the only stores are gas station convenience stores, you need to be prepared! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-or-underpack#post-975728 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 13:15:14 +0000 spaniellove 975728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Minimal packer! No matter where we are going in the world and for how long, we only take one carry-on each! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-or-underpack#post-975725 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 13:14:25 +0000 LuLu Mom 975725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Total overpacker...it's bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-or-underpack#post-975709 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 13:11:31 +0000 Dandelion 975709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I over pack and then forget things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-or-underpack#post-975706 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 13:10:36 +0000 Weagle 975706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Over packer for LO, but pretty spot on packer for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-or-underpack#post-975676 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 13:02:57 +0000 Alivoo01 975676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I overpack because I play the "what if" scenarios in my head. Fortunately, I'm an awesome packer so it always fits in my luggage without bulging! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-or-underpack#post-975577 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 12:36:51 +0000 pui 975577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an over packer. I also always make check-lists before going anywhere for more than 2 days lol. Better safe than sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-or-underpack#post-975575 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 12:36:10 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 975575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always overpack. What if something happens and we don't get home when we planned? Especially if we're going camping, I always bring enough for at least three days extra! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-or-underpack#post-975552 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 12:31:01 +0000 PurplePumps 975552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about perfect packer! No LO's yet, but DH and I are light travelers, we account exactly for what we will need. No more and no less. We've packed for a 4 week vacations going from beach to glaciers in a single carry on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-or-underpack#post-975542 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 12:29:36 +0000 bisous 975542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Business travel I tend to under pack...mostly because I take the train and I hate a heavy bag. </p> <p>Air/car travel, I almost always overpack. I am that person unloading things at bag check because my suitcase is 5 lbs over! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-or-underpack#post-975541 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 12:29:34 +0000 Running Elley 975541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Way overpacker. Wayyyyy. We're going away for a week and a half next month on vacation and it'll be the longest we've been away since having E.

I like to have 1-2 extra outfit choices. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/over-or-underpack#post-975515 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 12:23:30 +0000 chopsuey 975515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an under packer.
