Will you help me organize my vacation supplies?
I am having a problem figuring out what to bring on vacation. I am going with another person from Florida To Maine! It’ll take us 2 1/2 days to get there ( we are driving) and we are visiting friends for the first week and going on a canoe/camping trip for the second week. Then the trip home which is 2 1/2 days again! I need help organizing what I should bring for the trip like, food and other necessities…and then what I should bring for the two weeks there such as certain clothing and other items! Every time I go on vacation I either bring too much, or bring too little! Is there anyone with some AMAZING organizational skills that can help me with this situation? Thank you very much!
Try looking at LL Bean or lands End websites as both have great clothes for traveling. Not suggesting buying a new wardrobe but rather see what they suggest for the types of traveling you are planning.
Many camping sites now have laundry facilities – pack light.
Two types of travelers, those who pack light and those who wish they did.
Do your friends have the same problem? Perhaps your needed answers are as close as the person you are traveling with?
Good luck!
Okay… so I’ve done lots of trips through Mexico, with teams of nearly 100 people where I had to be responsible for making sure we had everything. Here’s how I did it:
I would take a tub (any container will do) and I would have one container for each day I would be gone. I would line up all the contaniners and label each one with a day. Then I would go down the row and write a list of items that I would need for each day and put it in the tub. including all duplicate items. Then I took all the list and compiled them into one, using the duplicates to tell me how much of that item I needed. Once I got the master shopping/packing list together I would get all the items together and sort them out by day and pack them away.
The hardest park in packing is figuring out what to pack. Just break it down to a day by day issue. Then its easy!
