Any divorces over packing?

[Guest]

I packed 4 pairs of 3/4 trousers, 5/6 tops, sandals, pumps, a weeks underwear and 2 swimming costumes. We went for 21 nights and washed twice.

Each time we've been I take less and less... We took 2 empty suitcases last time and they came back bulging !

So I take comfy shoes that are worn in, shorts, vests and swimming stuff but that's it. Half the fun for us is getting some new holiday clothes over there.

Have you seen these floaty trousers everywhere? (I know, I know not the best looking of things)
We picked some up on holiday to Spain during April when it was chillier than expected. My younger sister looked at them, laughed then pointed out they would probably be great for her in Florida to stop the dreaded rubbing of thighs together.

In case you're unsure of what i mean next/g572076s9#364364 (crazy print I know!)
There are plain ones out there, Tesco have them for around £12 too

Wide leg trousers look awful on me and make me look heavy, the crazy patterns do not help either lol.

I need a personal shopper/gok wan 😂

Normally 2-3 pairs of shorts. A skirt. A couple of dresses (one long one short) a few t shirts and a pile of boob tubes plus undies and swimwear. Leggings for on the way there/home

Kids have about 7 outfits based on shorts and t shirt or a couple of dresses for daughter

Hubs sorts himself shorts and t shirts based

Stay in a villa so wash as we go every few days and don't bring a lot of dirty stuff home

Boob tubes! I've been looking everywhere! Where do you get yours from?

We're packed, 2 adults 3 kids worth of clothes in 2 medium suitcases not too shabby just a couple of bits to add (like boob tubes) 😂

I do all the picking so no divorces here! I get hubby to put what he wants to take in a pile & I pack it. I'm a comfort girl, don't like to be restrictive in clothing, generally live in skinny jeans/loose fitting tips here, so on holiday i will take my loose fitting shorts, loose vests, and flip flops. Will occasionally wear loose trousers (the flowery harem type ones). Next have some really nice cotton vests at the minute so I might treat myself to those, flowing & cool. Packing for the kids is the worst one coz I always take wayyyy too much and then when hubby steps in to have a word haha

Yep totally agree with you my husband does all the packing and I just plonk clothes on bed and he packs he wouldn't dare moan about what I'm taking after all time and effort and research I put into organising our holidays lol !

I seem to take too much but have promised myself I won't this time! I always take my swimming costume, a pair of shorts, a shirt, bra and knickers in my hand luggage... just in case anything goes awry with our suitcases. DH packs his own bag (he is actually really good at it!) but last time we had to buy another suitcase to bring home all the extra things we bought 😁

[Excited6910]

We have a suitcase with the booster seats in and a "spare" case too for souvenirs 😳

I know this isn't very relevant because I'm a bloke, I pack almost nothing, just enough for a couple of days, then just buy my clothes there, I could fit what i take in baggy pockets in my shorts, however i find my full case has been packet by my wife, I go through it and unpack 90% then i find it repacked, we have a row, then i unpack it, another row, some repacking/unpacking then we go on holiday lol
