At my mom's. I made a list ahead of time, but didn't start packing until a couple days before as I found a lot of the stuff I needed to use until we left. </p> <p>PS: it is a good time to come out as the weather has been crappy but is starting to turn around now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-packing-for-a-trip#post-1057684 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 14:57:12 +0000 PurplePumps 1057684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The night before. There's always stuff I need that I can't pack away cause I need it while I'm home, and I suck at making good complete lists, so if I have to do it all at once to make sure I get everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-packing-for-a-trip#post-1057681 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 14:54:58 +0000 MamaJ 1057681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually make a list. Then do laundry a few days before and as I'm putting away the laundry I set aside what I want to bring. Then I usually put it in the suitcase the day before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-packing-for-a-trip#post-1057651 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 14:25:01 +0000 runsyellowlites 1057651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: Same...... pretty much am like that with everything from packing to getting party stuff done (currently scrambling for G's party tomorrow. lol) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-packing-for-a-trip#post-1057641 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 14:15:24 +0000 Freckles 1057641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 days in advance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-packing-for-a-trip#post-1057634 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 14:12:56 +0000 rachiecakes 1057634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: hmm leaving at 6am tomorrow and haven't started.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-packing-for-a-trip#post-1057627 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 14:05:19 +0000 californiadreams 1057627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i typically always do it the day before....and then regret not starting earlier in the week! Laundry, taking care of LO, and packing cannot be done in one day if I want to get to bed at a reasonable time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-packing-for-a-trip#post-1057507 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 12:30:56 +0000 lovehoneybee 1057507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I write out a very detailed packing list...down to what specific clothing...about a week before. If there's something I can pack ahead of time I do but I usually just run down the checklist and pack the day before we leave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-packing-for-a-trip#post-1057492 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 12:26:16 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1057492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make a detailed day by day checklist then pack the night before </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-packing-for-a-trip#post-1057475 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 12:15:45 +0000 Bookish 1057475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pack so far ahead it's ridiculous. I LOVE to travel, so I get all excited when it's time to pack. :p</p> <p>Good luck and have fun!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-packing-for-a-trip#post-1057472 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 12:13:54 +0000 heffalump 1057472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd start a few days ahead. I'd have a list ready, but because I'd have to do laundry I probably couldn't start much before that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-packing-for-a-trip#post-1057263 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 09:55:28 +0000 MamaMagpie 1057263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: yes, thank goodness for HB! British Columbia is so, so gorgeous and not boring at all! How nice that you get to spend such good quality time with your parents (and free + being fed = my kind of vacation)! Hope you have an amazing time :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-packing-for-a-trip#post-1057258 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 09:51:13 +0000 .twist. 1057258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: haha that's what I'm worried about! That, and packing too early that ill need something I've packed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-packing-for-a-trip#post-1057257 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 09:50:43 +0000 .twist. 1057257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMagpie: haha thanks! Well, when you do travel with your LO, this thread will be here for you! ;) we're going to British Columbia. We do every year (boring!). My parents live out there, so it's cheap (free!) and we get fed. Lol and super beautiful out there too, of course. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-packing-for-a-trip#post-1057256 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 09:50:24 +0000 sunny 1057256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2-3 days before. If I start too early I end up freaking out I have forgotten something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-packing-for-a-trip#post-1057254 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 09:46:38 +0000 MamaMagpie 1057254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was about to answer "the night before we leave!" until I saw that it was about packing a LO -- cue saucer eyes at realizing I would have absolutely no idea at what to even pack for travel with a baby, let alone when to do it!<br /> Good luck, I'm sure you'll get it all done :) A two-week vacation sounds awesome! Where are you headed? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-packing-for-a-trip#post-1057249 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 09:43:57 +0000 .twist. 1057249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: thanks! I started a check list this week :happy: just have to use it now. </p> <p>And now I have to figure out what to pack all his stuff in, too.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-packing-for-a-trip#post-1057245 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 09:40:29 +0000 luckypenny 1057245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually that week. I do a little each day. Make a checklist! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-packing-for-a-trip#post-1057242 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 09:35:44 +0000 .twist. 1057242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We leave for our 2 week vacation on Thursday! </p> <p>When do you normally start packing for your LO? </p> <p>Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm kinda new to travelling with a baby... </p>
