a little of both depending on what it is.
i usually have most everything ready to load up for a trip up north to see the family but i still manage to forget my keys at least once amonth and have to make 2 trips to work in the morning:tongue:

I am a list maker and follower, I am leaving here on the 30th and my suitcase is almost packed...
I can grab and go in a moments notice for a weekend trip though..

Procrastination is not usually an issue where I am concerned..
I often drive myself nuts with my organizational skills...

:smile: I dwell in a world of well organized chaos. I do things by whim and dislike unnecessary planning.

A "plan" to me is - let's go to the mountains for a week.

"Unnecessary planning" is devising an itinerary for the trip.

I prefer to leave what happens between departure and arrival up to fancy.

GOOD GOLLY - that brought back a strong memory!
While we rarely ever butted heads {my dear hubby & I}...his 'AN*L RETENTIVE' method of taking vacations was exactly that way!

Driving from point (A) to (B) within a 45 minute early arrival time - regardless of what amazing things we were passing - the gorgeous scenery we were blowing by - the need to get out of that vehicle and just do something besides 'peddle to the metal' and DRIVE LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL to the next destination!!!

I loved getting in the vehicle but let's meander around some back roads - stop and see some unique local things; junk shops/antique places/thrift stores...etc., etc., but anything to get off those INTERSTATES and drive like we're on the German Auto-bon grumble

Sister in law is an itenery maker
one year my beloved father in law bought all his kids/grandkids tickets to Disney and this woman had it mapped out and scheduled right down to where we would all be eating lunch,the order of the rides we would take kids on and when the potty breaks would be!
When we got in park I took one look at my husband of 20years...
he read my mind and as soon as everyone else went to take their kids to first scheduled potty break
we made a break for it
ditched the family
and had a great time going whichever
direction we wantedhappy

Do you like to plan things and you are well organised?
Like a nun or angel? :laughing:

Or...

Are you a person who leaves everything till the last minute
and simply wings it through? like a commando? :laughing:

"Wing it like a commando"??!!??? I guess you've never met or read about real commandos.

As for me, I'm an OG.

So I plan like crazy, then when reality happens, I wing it based on my well thought out principles and standards.

I feel like I'm totally in the middle of this. I'm self employed and all of my work stuff is super super organized but heaven forbid I ever need to find anything non-work related because that stuff will be lost in the back of a cupboard or in the trunk of my car.

I am more organized. Almost OCD about it
