Packing for vacation: just pack or make a list and check it twice?

Definitely compile a checklist. Vacations are meant to be fun things - the last thing you want to do is spoil it before you go by forgetting something important. I am a bit neurotic about these things so I'll always tick things off on a checklist as I pack.

Vacation preparation matters so much, I've even written a trio of pages on the subject, including one specifically about checklists (see below). Hope it helps someone. hubpages.com/hub/Greensleeves-Check-List-fo.

I love to pack for a vacation, so I don't need a list. Whatever is missing can be purchased at my travel destination. Since I don't want to spend any extra money on missing items, I seldom leave anything out.

For me, packing without a list adds to the excitement of traveling.

Definately make a list. It helps me to spread everything out on the bed, or floor and go through the checklist AS I'm packing.

For me, I always have to have a list, then pack only what I really need. Gives me an excuse to do some extra shopping when I get there.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
