Are you planning a last minute weekend escape? We all need a break from our daily drilling and explore ourselves in the process. Sometimes a weekend getaway may prove to be the perfect tonic to the monotonous routine. You don’t have to worry about what gear to pack for the journey. Whether it is a family trip, a business tour or a luxurious stay at downtown, these essentials will help you make your excursion all the more easy. These essentials will contribute to a quick and easy pack.
- The basics
Your most essential packing item is your clothes. Make sure your choice of attire coincides with the weather of your desired destination. Carry simple things such as easy to wear jeggings, lose tops, V-necks and shorts. If you’re going to a beach resort or somewhere lit, pack bright tunics, blouses and sundresses. Don’t forget to take a bathing suit. For colder weather, it is better to pack leather jackets, turtle necks, coats and woolen tights. You never know when a blizzard might blow your way.
- Footwear
Pack the most comfortable shoes you have. Traveling in ease and comfort should be your priority. So pack up your espadrilles or joggers. As far as flip flops are concerned, just buy a cheap pair from wherever you are going. If attending a formal dinner or an opera is on your to-do list, it is better that you carry a pair of black formal loafers or a pair of stilettos. You would want to look your best when you make the entrance.
- Your ease and comfort
What if on a bright Sunday afternoon, you just want to stay in and read a book while you sip your tea? For such purposes, keep a pair of cozy PJ’s in your suitcase. Add a pair of snuggly socks to your list. Keep an extra set of PJ’s.
- Accessories
What essentials will you carry? You would not want to cramp up your bag. Keep the things that you require on a daily basis. Your chargers, power banks and smartphone data cables must have a proper domain. If you are carrying a DSLR, make sure your batteries are charged. Keep a pair of sunglasses. Manage your toiletries kit and pack your favorite beauty bits. Say you wanted to do a quick makeover on the airport? So, keep a beauty pouch within your reach at all times. You do not need to carry wrist watches or other such accessories if you are not wearing them already.
- Luggage and carting
Carry easy to handle suitcases. Make sure that you have a hand carry for your trip. Keep your essential and easily accessible items close. Go for a satchel or a strapped bag to make it all easy. Nothing beats comfort. Lug a carry on item such as a parka, if you are planning to visit the colder regions.
Remember, anything that you can live without doesn’t need to be packed; unless of course you have a lot of space. Pack light and enjoy your weekend escape.
