How can I describe preparing before travel?

conversation

Solution 1:

You're "packing for the trip", "packing your bags", "packing your things", or "getting packed":

I'd better go pack for the trip.

I'd better go pack my bags.

I'd better go pack my things.

I'd better go and get packed.

All of those are equivalent, and common in conversational speech.
