How long could it take

[Prophet Zacharia 5,360]

For a woman to pack one bag, carry-on, for a 5 night stay? Warm destination, casual environment. It’s 12:47 am, we leave for the airport at 0430. Will she make it?

The task will always take all of the available time and just a bit more.  The best way to learn to do it faster is to miss a flight.

We’re at the gate waiting to board. So no lessons taught. Fortunately.

If she makes it, I hope she manages to avoid COVID and the domestic terrorists that have terrorized those on some flights.

I understand it's all confusing but can't you just lie? That's what you are supposed to do.

You forgot to add, “and have a good flight.”

Flew into BWI. TSA agents checking every passenger at the gate, presumably for weapons. Flying out of BWI, I see no such presence. So it’s a “going to DC area” kinda thing.

Sad that has become the #3 worry on the list.

WOChrisL is a light packer thank god.  On short trips we’ll often share a bag. 

Safe travels!

two bikinis, some high heels, sandals, walking shoes, a few delicates, maybe a pair of shorts, a casual top and a dress for fancy dinners?  10 minutes tops.

Also, why do you even bother unpacking between your bi monthly trips to exotic locales?   Just leave the bags packed and label them.  Hawaii, Bora Bora, Fiji, Maldives, etc.   Grab and go.

Should have packed the thermal bikinis.

Interesting. To try to find weapons that made it through the metal detector screen? Are they going to find shivs made out of carbon  wood?

Unpossible. Unless she plans on buying a new suitcase and filling it for the flight back.

I'm the over packer between me and the wife.  Needless to say, I forget to pack my belt on most trips.

This is one thing good about being a Yooper; you know to ALWAYS grab a hoodie.
