Default when do you start packing?

When you know you are going somewhere do you pack with weeks in advance after making a prepared list? Do you just say screw it and pack on the day? Do you pack at all?

Probably a day or two before.

The only think I do way in advance is, if I buy new shoes, I need to break them in weeks (at least 2 weeks) in advance to avoid foot blisters from all the upcoming hardcore walking that I'll be doing.

I use one of those travel checklist application and pack 4 days before. Just to make sure I never forget anything!

All the clothes are easy. Hardest part for me, aside from documents and money situated, is always knowing that I'm taking the right kind of shoes for all that walking that I'll be doing.


If I buy a new pair of shoes, I have to spend a week or more of heavy walking in them to break them in good to avoid blisters.

I think over the list of what to take in advance in my head, starting from the moment when I confirm the trip, I start thinking about what I will wear, what the weather will be like and about everything that needs to be taken

and begin to quietly sketch out a list of clothes and everything you need

and I always pack my suitcase the day before departure, so that if anything there is time to remember and put forgotten things
