Sucks when you are on a trip and realize you wished you would have packed that really cute sundress you have that would look awesome at the resort.



Exactly!

I used the bags that you can roll the air out of. Gives you more room in your bag.



I have to have a travel luggage scale now cause I'm always right at the 50lb mark with my luggage.

I never find fault with a woman packing extra/different clothes to be prepared.

But all the makeup and tools y'all bring floors me. Curling irons, flattening irons, lotions, conditioners, polishes, etc.
good lord it takes a lot to feel pretty.
But to my wife's credit, she always looks dazzling to me, so I don't mind carrying all her stuff.

Well you need to pack even more product if you are going someplace tropical with even more humidity. I bring my own hair dryer as well cause I don't like the crappy ones they have in hotels. I do try to bring travel sized stuff whenever possible.




I learned my lesson for next time I go to Costa Rica...PACK LIGHT. I will seriously be backpacking it next time I go there. Trying to roll a huge suitcase and rolley carry on case from place to place in rocky gravel roads was NOT fun. It was actually embarrassing when our shared shuttle would pick us up and everyone else had MUCH less luggage than us. I'm sure they saw us and thought "typical dumb American tourist"


My husband bitched about all I packed a good bit on our honeymoon

Pet peeves of wife's packing:

1. Waits til we need to be leaving (can't decide what to wear)

2. Will pack enough clothes to open a clothing store, even for a weekend trip.

on the good :
1. doesn't take an extraordinary amount of time, for that many clothes.

2. Amazingly, even with 14 different outfits for the weekend trip, she'll only bring about 4 pairs of shoes.

She starts days or even a week in advance.



<---------- Guilty of doing the same.

I'm a planner.

Yeah, I'll do only one pair of heels that matches all.. and then the minimum amount of casual shoes.
