Am I the only one who stresses out over packing?

Swells1 you can always buy those items at a port of call if you run out. Most places have a discount store of some sorts on them.

We are going away on a cruise in 6 weeks and it will my first cruise with a little one. So I am stressing big time about packing cause i want to make sure that i have everything we need especially for the little one. I already have stuff in suitcases and have list of things that i still have to buy. I will be stressed out til all of us and luggage are on board the freedom after that i will be fine........ And yes i know i'm crazy but oh well !!!

I find it gets better the more cruises you have under your belt. I used to be that way...........but the more you cruise, the wiser you get and know what to take, what to pack and more important........what to leave at home.

 

particularly with the leave at home part. There is a greater tendency to overpack than to underpack. If you do underpack, then buy whatever you need. There are stores everywhere. Your acquisition will also serve as a souvenir...

I usually pack the morning of the day I leave.:) I may overpack a bit, but usually wear everything at least once. Of course, I'm by myself, so I don't have to worry about anyone else. Might be a different story if I had others to think of. Even the toiletries...those get packed in the morning after I've used them. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. Also, I have done a lot of cruising, so that makes a difference for sure.

Don't get me started on mouthwash. DH refuses to measure exactly how much he uses everyday.

 

These are the things that keep me awake at night.

 

Good for your husband! These are not things that are worth a moment's thought.
