Saturday morning (we're leaving this weekend so we can spend non-con time with the friends who put us up for the con) I will toss in the last few things like hairbrush, pillow, etc and we'll be ready to leave within 30 minutes of getting up!
As I said in another thread, I am well aware that no plan survives contact with the chaos. However, if I do what I can to be over-prepared in advance, then the chaos is far less stressful. I like to have the majority of my ducks in something resembling a row. The stragglers can be dealt with as needed. :-)

Ha! Yeah right! I wish I was that ahead of the game!I started packing last weekend. I've been working long hours lately, and need a decent amount of sleep, so I don't have much time to do anything on weeknights. I *know* if I leave it 'till later, I will be a frenzied mess and will forget stuff. So Saturday I did 2 loads of laundry and started packing Saturday/Sunday. It's easy to go ahead and toss in the stuff I won't need during the week (shorts, shirts I don't wear to work, sneakers, cosplay stuff) I've been adding bits and pieces each day when I find or think of something.

Keeping anything closed to focused this week is going to be so hard....
I'm so ready to go. Almost completely packed, just need to add in the last-minute, use-it-that-morning stuff.
Packed? I bet you also have your Christmas shopping done! :)Keeping anything closed to focused this week is going to be so hard....

I'm the exact opposite, I'll pack about an hour before I leave for the airport.
