When I am finished packing my bag, it is shaped like:
A bag
A lumpy bag
A tightly packed ball
An open mouth (I can't close the zipper)

When I lift my carry-on into the overhead bin:
I put the bag in the bin and sit down
Someone has to help me lift my bag
Three large men have to help me lift my bag
I collapse under my bag and require medical attention

When I buy souvenirs, I:
Pack them neatly in my suitcase
Pack them in an extra carry-on bag
Stuff them in my partner's bag when he or she is not looking
Pay to ship them home

My travel partner complains that I:
Brag about how great I am at packing
Always borrow his or her stuff
Make him or her carry my 100-pound bag
Run up hundreds of dollars in checked baggage fees

When packing for a trip, I:
End up buying things during my trip that I forgot to pack

Pack some tops, some pants, one formal outfit and I'm good to go
Pack as if I am permanently moving to my destination

I start packing:
Two weeks before I depart
A week before I depart
The day before I depart
In the car on the way to the airport

The most unnecessary thing I've ever packed was:
A journal
A few extra pairs of shoes
A blender
A Halloween costume

My packing strategy is:
To make a detailed, color-coded list
To start laying things out a few days ahead
To pick up whatever's on the floor and put it in a bag
I have no packing strategy whatsoever

The last time I purchased travel insurance was:
Before my last trip
A few years ago
Back when flight attendants were called stewardesses
I have never purchased travel insurance

The most important thing I have forgotten to pack was:
Dental floss
A rain coat
My passport and credit cards
All of the above
