I spend months deciding on what and how much to pack. The day before we fly out my husband pulls his suitcase out and literally within 10 minutes he is ready to go! Toiletries and all! My packing tip would be to make sure to at least carry on some of my clothes. Especially the ones for the beach. Had a near miss some years back when someone mistaking my bag for theirs took it from the carousel. Luckily my husband walked around and found it. After that I make sure I have something to get me through at least the first day or so just in case.
