This is what works for me, OP:

We typically leave for vacation on Saturday, so this is how I plan my week:

Sunday: Sit down and make a detailed list of things I need to pack and do. It’s detailed down to things like “pack swim covers” and “lock windows”.

Monday: Bring out suitcases and dust them off, then leave them in the spare bedroom. (Before we had a spare bedroom, I kept them in the dining room.) Throughout the week, pack things that are going but that won’t be needed all week.

Tuesday: Nothing, the calm before the storm.

Wednesday: Laundry. This is my “final call” for familial laundry. This is the last load of clothes before the trip and after this, everyone is on their own. If anything is washed that is going, it gets packed now.

Thursday: Clean the house. Everyone pitches in and blitz cleans the house. We will do a lite clean again tomorrow.

This is also the day I stop cooking. The kitchen is closed and we get take out until we leave.

Friday: I like to take this day off of work if possible. We finish packing, and prep as much of the house as possible. The plants are watered, the fridge is emptied, and as much of the checklist is done as possible. I also change sheets and wash them if I have time and feel like it, if not, I wash them when we get back.

Saturday: Finish checklist, and now you’re on vacation!

What’s a “swim cover?”[/quote]

DP here. I assume she means the coverup you put over your bathing suit. So you don’t just walk around the hotel in your bathing suit.[/quote]
