Tomorrow, we leave for another vacation. Being on vacation is wonderful. However, the day before vacation, is the worst. Why? Because I hate to pack.The entire process of packing frustrates me. It starts with deciding what to take. Is it going to be cold or hot? Are we going to be casual or do we need to dress up some days? Do I need dress shoes or will tennis shoes do the trick?
Then, once I decide on what to take, cramming all my clean, wrinkle free clothes into a small suitcase, just knowing they will be wrinkled when I get them out, is maddening. Because of my indecisiveness, I tend to overpack. So, of course, overpacking means even more wrinkles.
Finally, after stuffing the suitcase full, the worry sets in. Did I pack everything? Do I need another shirt or another pair of pants? Will my mouthwash spill out all over my clothes. So frustrating!
But tomorrow, all the frustration will end. I will be on vacation! Anything I didn't pack, I'll either do without or buy another one when we reach our destination. I can't wait!

I keep a checklist in my suitcase of basic essentials that can easily be forgotten like camera and small garbage bag for dirty clothes. Deciding on shoes is most difficult because they take so much space. Packing is a bit of a pain, but the lure of vacation is so worth it.
I always thought you had to pack everything you would need. But, I've found out you can usually get by without the item. Sometimes it is an important item . So enjoy your trip
You forgot to mention that packing really starts with doing the laundry.
