Stress: Sounds like a classic case of stress induced gastrointestinal discomfort causing loose stools. Try to calm yourself in the pre-vacation melee that most household go through and think of the relaxing vacation to come with (HOPEFULLY) less stress in your life!

Nerves?: That's a bummer - certainly not the way you want to start a vacation. Since it is clearly not infectious given the way it presents, I would try taking immodium for a couple days to slow it down a little.

Diarrhea : It sounds like you are having diarrhea from stress based on the pattern you described. It does not sound worrisome to me.
