That is a spreadsheet that demonstrates how I cannot function without a list. I have to admit that I usually pack with the caveat that we aren't traveling to Timbuktu, and I can replace anything forgotten in a heart beat. But why spend money needlessly on new swimsuits (which I remembered this trip but have forgotten many times before, I have 4) when we don't need to. A list not only saves my sanity it saves me money. And from now on I will remember, there is no such thing as a trip too small to need a list!
I am also a list-maker. Here's how anal I am: I have every packing list I've made going back five years, labelled by date. So if we are travelling to somewhere we've been before, at about the same time of year, I can grab that list and then edit it for current purposes and then go. ANAL.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of which, we are also going away overnight this weekend and I haven't even made my list yet. It's been just too crazy around here. Must make list now!
I'm not religious about making lists, but I really should be. I've arrived places without sleepwear more often than not! Not intentionally either!
ReplyDeleteBUT WHERE'S THE TOOTHPASTE? And the underwear?
ReplyDeleteI fear you may be very, very stinky, my dear, if you don't expand that spreadsheet.
I *loved* seeing this.
You'll get no argument from me! I'm a list-maker from way back!
