why don't you just add it to the wiki I'm sure it will be a help to many, me included.

Done.

Anything and everything: food leftovers, snacks for car, small things to take in backpack, trail findings, etc.

What else did you have on your list? This is just mainly the shabbos related items. This list does not include chargers, electronics, hardware, clothes, games, etc.

I'd like to start a new thread where we all list our general packing lists. We can see if someone else brings something that we hadn't thought about, as well as having a list for new timers who just haven't thought about it.

Any objections?

Ive tried searching info on this (what I believe is a relatively common) issue, and couldn't find anything. When staying at a hotel for shabbos and leaving motzei shabbos, is there any solution to not having to pay for the saturday nights stay?

they will often let you check out (i.e. by 1:00pm) and you bring all of your belongings into a room -- they may permit you to use the premises for the rest of the day, however they won't usually allow you into your room. 4:00pm SPG plat check-out (or if they don't need the room and they allow extra time) helps with some of these issues, if needed.

While this solution may help with the checkout aspect of the process, I'm not sure how it helps with the hachana aspect. Wouldn't packing up my belongings and moving to another room for the purpose of motzei shabbos constitute hachana? (Unless of course, i'm misunderstanding you, or the halchos, or you have a psak that hachana would be mutar in this circumstance)

I spoke to my Rav who said that as long as all of your muktza stuff is packed away before shabbos, you can pack everything else (because if not the hotel may take/discard it) up on shabbos. You can then instruct the hotel staff to take your muktza suitcase out of the room and direct it to a safe spot - again, they are kicking you out so instead of your stuff getting lost/stolen they can put it somewhere safe for you once they are evicting you anyway.

Interesting psak! I will speak to my rav about it thanks!

I have packed everything into our suitcases except for what we needed on Shabbos and moved the bags to the front desk closet on Friday before Shabbos. Shabbos morning we took our pajamas and anything else we had left out and brought it down to our suitcase. Perhaps you can view those few items we brought down as "putting away" - the same way you would hang up your shirt after you wear it on Friday night, we put our stuff away in the morning into our suitcase that was already at the front desk. Hope that made some sense and perhaps helps.
