Quick Packing Tips for a Weekend Getaway

Less is more…especially when you are packing for only a few days. To avoid bringing something you don’t need, contact the hotel in advance to find out what items they stock in the room (i.e. specific toiletries, a robe and so on).  Make sure that either all of your tops or all of your bottoms are solid colors so you are not trying to match a striped shirt with gingham capris. Take extra accessories to instantly transform an outfit from day to night.  Include a wrap for travel and over-air conditioned hotel rooms. To minimize wrinkles, opt for travel-friendly fabrics like knits, stretch jersey, polyester, wool gabardines and blends. Plan to wear the heaviest items in route. Pack only your exercise gear only if you truly intend to work out. And leave the laptop (and work) at home.  Enjoy your time away!
