Travel planning

So here we are again, on our way to our next travel destination (Costa Rica this time and for another wedding). Last night was spent, yet again, frantically packing and spending the extra time in the airport reading our guide books and coming up with a plan for this trip that we've known about for months and had tickets for since February. It got me to thinking what has changed in my traveling life over the years. I used to be a person who was packed at least the day before, had all of my errands run a few days before and typically had an itinerary, especially if I was traveling solo. These days I feel lucky to get to the airport with any time to spare, have forgotten very few essentials, and if anything like car rentals or first nights lodgings are booked, doubled points for me, triple points if they get booked more than a day before I leave. Oh and if I don't have a single errand to run on the day of departure, I've hit the jackpot.
While I sit here in the San Salvador airport during our 5 hour layover, with another 3 hours to go, I wonder if my life has really gotten so busy or I feel seasoned enough to no longer need a plan. I doubt either of those on their own are the culprits to the crazed rush that proceeds trips these days. I certainly don't feel seasoned and still feel more comfortable with some sort of plan. I do realize I now need to find a housesitter/dogsitter, make sure the bills are paid and leave my work desk in a reasonable state but those things shouldn't take up that much time, at least that's what I tell myself. Could it be my brain is just overloaded with too much travel (could there be such a thing???). This year alone there are 3-4 international trips and at least 3 extended domestics trips. My past consisted of usually one large trip a year, if that. I could try to blame it on Ben, the Man with No Plan, but that doesn't really work either.
No, I think each of these reasons work together and intertwine themselves into one giant, I'll admit it, procrastination blockade. But who am I kidding, that's not news. My procrastination runs deep, it's in my bones. The real question is, what am I going to do about it? And the answer is I'm on vacation, I'll worry about it when I get back home.
