My wife (no pics turkey creek) and I were having a discussion on this earlier. She takes an ungodly long time to pack for any trip. Whether it is for one night, or a week, she takes forever to decide what she wants to bring and procrastinates along the way. As expected, she usually ends up bringing WAY too much haha. I usually can throw a few things in a bag within 5-10 minutes. So how long does the typical OT 10/wife/gf take to pack for a trip?

Wife starts 3-5 days prior to any trip over 3 days...she uses the formal dining room to gather stuff, she calls it the "staging area"

Don't sweat it because it is a big part of the fun for them...

My gf took 3 days before we went to Costa Rica. Took her 2 hours before we went to San Antonio for a DAY last weekend.

If it's a big trip to someplace I've never been I will research what the weather will be like and suggested things to pack a couple months before I leave(this is what I did for Costa Rica). That gave me time to buy clothes for the trip an other necessary stuff.


Couple weeks before we left I made a detailed packing list for myself and made sure everything on that list was washed, purchased,etc.


Started packing 3 days before the trip.






My husband starting packing the morning of our trip(our flight left 11 that night). He drove me crazy.

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.
