What to Pack for a Weekend Get-Away

What to Pack for a Weekend Get-Away

It's always fun to get away for a summer weekend. Especially when you have a nice place to go. But what in the world should you pack for a summer weekend get-away. Here are a few items that everybody should pack when going away for the weekend, no matter where that get-away location is.

Clothes- Obviously you will want to pack clothes for your weekend get-away. The type and amount of clothing will depend on your location and how single you are. My general rule of thumb is to pack the same amount of outfits as days we will be gone, plus one. For example, if we will be going on a three day weekend get-away then I will pack four perfect outfits for each day. By doing this I will give myself more collection and have an extra outfit just in case my children resolve to spill something on me one day. You just never know what will happen, so pack one extra.

Swimsuit- always pack a swimsuit when you are going on a weekend get-away. You could be going to the beach, to the mountains or plainly to the middle of nowhere, but always pack a swimsuit. You may want to go swimming or just do some sunbathing, either way you will regret not bringing that swimsuit if it turns out that you do nothing else but need it.

Toiletries- Toiletries are always required when you go on a summer weekend get-away, or any get-away for that matter. I always end up running off and forgetting something so I always have to make myself a list weeks in strengthen so that I can keep adding to it when I think of something else to take along. You will want to bring things like haircare products (shampoo, conditioner, mousse, hairspray, etc.), personal care products (deodorant, cologne, toothpaste & toothbrushes), feel lens or eyeglasses case and anything else are you usual toiletries. Try to only take things that you know you will need for the weekend or else you will be taking along far too much luggage for a straightforward weekend get-away.

Sunglasses/Sunhat- Have you ever arrived somewhere only to perceive that you have forgotten your sunglasses? I have, and I can tell you that it is highly unenjoyable. Normally when you go away for the weekend you will plan to be exterior in the gorgeous sunshine, therefore, you will by all means; of course want to bring along a pair of sunglasses or at least your beloved hat. The sun can be very consuming and your eyes need the protection.

Sunscreen- When you resolve to take a weekend get-away it is very leading to bring along a bottle of your beloved sunscreen. The sun's rays can cause a lot of damage to your skin so always try to protect your skin as much as you possibly can. Nothing can ruin a great weekend get-away worse than spending all weekend as red as a fully cooked lobster and in so much pain that you just don't want to move. So bring along that sunscreen and lather yourself with it often while you are exterior enjoying your weekend get-away.

Camera- I am a major camera-carrier when I go somewhere interesting. By bringing along a camera I am always assured that I will not miss one of those memorable moments when my children are doing something funny or just plain cute. Even if you aren't taking children with you on your weekend get-away you should bring along your beloved camera. You never know when something interesting, gorgeous or just plain funny will draw your attention and make you want to catch it on camera for posterity.

The destination of your weekend get-away isn't nearly as leading as the person you will be enjoying the weekend with. By manufacture sure that you pack everything that you will need, you are ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable weekend get-away. Have fun and you will be sure to come home rested and relaxed at the end of your weekend get-away.
