 Vacation Packing Check List
by Marcia Ramsland, The Organizing Pro
www.OrganizingPro.comanizingpro.com
Getting ready for vacation? Simplify your packing by getting a colorful
mini-notebook to create a permanent “Vacation Check List.” Then follow these
steps to get ready:
1- Start tonight and ask what everyone is looking forward to - and realize how
rejuvenating time away can be.
2- Count the number of vacation days and start to plan that number of outfits in
your notebook.
3- Use the same shoe colors to get more outfits with less items.
4- Create a "5 Day Countdown Pack List" to be ready to go:
5 days before: Cover mail pickup, pet arrangements and lawn care.
4 days
before: Clear your desk and wrap up all paper and emails. Put airline tickets/
directions in a special folder
to take along and find easily on your
trip.
3 days before: Start to empty the frig and get trip snacks ready.
2 days before: Finish the laundry and pack the essentials today.
1 day before: Capture last minute thoughts in your notebook,
pack, and get a good night’s sleep.
Bonus Steps:
Treat yourself to a pedicure and a new magazine
the week before so you can wiggle your toes in the sand and relax. Be sure to
leave anything behind that stresses you. Pack up and head out the door for a great time.
Now you’re ready. And I'm confident you will have a fresh
perspective when you come back.
NOTE: Keep a Travel Notebook (small ring
binder) write your own list in your
notebook. Add things to remember every trip until it was fine tuned and
you can count on your list as you pack.
Keep this little notebook with your suitcase and travel bag to shorten
your packing time.
Think about having "The Organizing Pro" speak for your next big
event.
