Packing for a Weekend Getaway

Duffel bags are ideal for weekend getawaysA weekend getaway can be a healthy escape from your hectic workweek. A time for you to unwind, unplug, and disconnect from the world.

Don’t let the process of preparing for your journey stress you out. Instead, take a deep breath and follow our packing tips so that your retreat begins before you leave the house.

For a few days away, all you’ll need is a small wheeled bag or duffel, a backpack, and a small shoulder purse.

Once you’re all set with the right luggage, start with this packing list which will help in your packing for a weekend getaway:

Clothes

  • 4 topsShoes
  • 2 pairs of pants
  • 2 pairs underwear
  • bra
  • socks
  • workout clothes
  • dress
  • pajamas

Toiletries

  • shampoo
  • conditioner
  • toothbrush/toothpaste/floss
  • face wash
  • face lotion
  • hand lotion
  • deodorant
  • brush
  • prescription medication
  • vitamins
  • makeup

Electronics

Electronics Cube

  • camera
  • iPod
  • cell phone
  • tablet
  • laptop
  • power cords for all

Miscellaneous

  • drivers license
  • hotel/car rental confirmations
  • directions
  • books/magazines

I find that sometimes I over pack for my short getaways but when I stick with this short packing list, I’m much less likely to carry too much.

Now, go enjoy your holiday!
