Poll: How long to unpack from a trip?

[315bride]

I just got back from a loooong road trip on Tuesday. (Seriously, my trip was amazing and I am still paying for it with exhaustion right now.) I didn't even fully unpack the car until yesterday and I still haven't unpacked. My last night was spent in a shop where I got wood and fiberglass on everything so it all has to get washed. Ugh, I'm just procrastinating doing it at this point.

On the other hand, DH unpacks immediately so he's totally making fun of me right now.

So, how long do you take unpacking your clothes from a trip?

I'm a little neurotic and I unpack pretty much within 30 minutes after walking in the door so I can start the laundry.

When we visit H's parents (his dad smokes in the house) I literally dump everything out on the porch and divide it all up before it even makes it into the house. H and I have a system after visiting there. It's kind of entertaining.

I'm the same. It may take me a week or so to unpack while my H unpacks the day we get back from a trip. I actually never fully unpack part of my toiletries bag and leave it on the sink.

Oh, yeah, my toiletries all stay in their little bag. That way I just throw that in my bag on the next trip.

This is embarrassing, but I normally just live out of my suitcase until I don't have anymore clean clothes. I hate packing and unpacking.

[monsterellachz]

my dad always says i'm packed for my next trip...

I'm a total procrastinator, I usually slowly unpack for a couple of days. H unpacks the minute he sets his suitcase down.

I usually take out the dirty clothes and stuff that i need on a daily basis (make up and such) and everything else stays in the suitcase for a while. I gradually put things away as the days go by but it's probably close to a week before everything is in its place. I hate packing and unpacking!!!!!!

I unpack all the clothes that needs laundered immediately and do the washes. But stuff that I didn't end up wearing and other misc items sometimes sit in the luggage for up to two weeks.

I have gone up to a week. But recently I've been trying to be better about it.

[fashionx]

If I'm good... maybe 2 days. If I'm super tired and feeling lazy... maybe 7-10 days is the most I've let the suitcase sit around. DH pretty much abandons his, so I unpack his too.

Dirty clothes are washed within a day or two.

I have a suitcase full of clean clothes from a trip about a month ago. It will only be unpacked when I start repacking for our trip in a few weeks.

All the clothes I take are usually dirty when I get back, so I go ahead and sort them into the laundry when I get home.

This is me, too.

I don't unpack until DH complains about the suitcase being in the hallway. That usually takes a week and a half.

LOL

[countthestars]

It takes me about a week.

[lmdbww]

A day or so, usually. We got back from 7 days at the beach last week and I was fully unpacked within 15 hours.

[erin2903]

I immediately upack and do laundry. I can't stand having suitcases and bags laying around.

[busybodyk]

I have still not fully unpacked from my trip to Miami 3 1/2 weeks ago....

This is me. I hate stuff around.i have to go it ASAP even if we get home crazy late

I like to unpack as soon as I get home, usually. However, I packed for an overnighter three weeks ago and I still haven't unpacked it.
