anyone else enjoy planning their packing for a trip almost as much as the trip itself? it really suits my autism to make sure I have every item I need squared away and accounted for.

Not the packing itself, but the day I have to pack. i usually gather the essentials a week leading up to the trip and then pack the night before which is pure ecstatic and slight anxiety
Speaking of traveling.I need to buy a cabin suitcase, are there any specific ones you guys recommend?55/40/20cm size wise
>>2646957Absolutely not! I go into "oh fuck what if I forgot to pack the one important thing I need, ahhhhhhh shiiiiit panic panic panic!" mode. (To be fair to me, I mostly travel on trips that include being part of a set of cultural festivals, and the gear I need is part of it and varies from trip to trip. And I'm always hard up against my weight allowance.) But I have gotten much better about it, but it is NOT something I enjoy.
I don't have fun packing because my camera tends to get in the way due to space and weight. Might bite the bullet and do two bags just so I have extra space for souvenirs.
I normally just lay everything out on the dining table I want to take with and then systematically remove things I feel I dont need because I can see I already have something similar. Having an overall visual of what you're taking helps reduce the guess work and over packing.
