An Ode to Packing at the Last Minute

Packing is not always the funnest thing in the world to do...
which is why I have devised a failproof way to simplify and streamline your packing experience.
Do it all 4 hours before your plane leaves.
Impossible you say? Insane?
Maybe... but it's worth it for the following reasons.
It saves time: You will definately maximize efficiancy out of sheer panic.
You will pack light: Only the bare necessities go in the pack.
You won't remember it: Your brain is in such overdrive, you won't remember it as a pain in the ass.
Excitement: When your not sure if you'll make the flight as you sprint to the gate.
Perspective: Planning is overrated.
Of course you will need some extremely patient friends/family to help, and the goodbyes are usually much more cheerful cause everyone is so happy the whirlwind is over ;-)

So for anyone who wants to spice up their traveling experience (and its not for the faint of heart)... give it a shot and good luck!

My buddy Matt mentioned that packing drunk is also quite an experience and I would have to agree. As he said, "when you get to your destination its like Christmas morning- you are not exactly sure what you're unwrapping."
That was too good to pass up
