I bought sunscreen for my 3 year old yesterday..and then besides the obvious clothes and shampoo conditioner...anything else I need to pack? Im getting so excited!

Originally Posted By MOLLYSMOM I am an early packer. I also buy all new stuff so I don't have to do laundry before we go...I even buy new toiletries.

No need to say what you're thinking...I've heard it a million times. And yes, I'm the one that has her Christmas shopping done and wrapped by Memorial Day.

Well, me and my friends have a trip planned in 3 years, and I'm already packed, been doing d-land for years (Not so many) and I love it, also, we have one in 122 days, but I don't know if that one is going to work out. Best of wishes to ya on the trip. Um, suggestions, to many for this, but don't forget to hit the rainforest cafe while your down there. Also, don't forget to make sure your tickets are reserved before you get down there, if your using a travel agent sometimes they miss that part.
Originally Posted By tinkerbell77 Im an early packer as well. Well not to early, like 2 weeks early. This past Christmas trip I was packed 2 weeks early and still forgot stuff! So if you wanna pack, then go ahead an pack. But just recheck everything before you leave. Have a wonderful time.

Originally Posted By SuzieQ I usually pack just before I walk out the door. Never earlier than the night before. I traveled on business all the time, so I'm used to packing. It's seriously no big deal. I have a second set of toiletries, so I don't have to worry about throwing in my toothbrush at the last minute. I just toss in the cosmetics bag. My son, who is now 16, has been packing for himself since he was about 12.

Originally Posted By kennedyjane I love to pack. DH and I have a 120 days togo, but our carry on is partically packed. We have a freedom bag for out tolietries.

So I'll have five stacks of teeshirt/shorts. This really helps me so I bring enough for the trip. A swimsuit, one pair of jeans, pj's, two pairs of birkenstocks. I have to add DH locks our suitcases the night before. I'm not aloud to add anything the next moring or recheck the contents. It's so we can acutally get to the airport two hours ahead of time. I'm so excited can't wait to get started.
