Everything You Need to Know About Packing a Weekend Away Into a Carry On Bag

Are you are tired of seeing all of those great travel deals roll through your email only to realize that they don’t allow you to take on any checked baggage? After all, how is anybody supposed to fit everything they need for a weekend away into a carry on sized bag?



If this sounds like your then this article is here to help! Not with tips on how to find flights which allow checked baggage, but with tips on how you can pack everything you need for a weekend away into a small carry on sized bag.

It All Starts With a Roll
The best place to start with tips on how to get the most out of your space is a lesson with how to fold your clothes. Or, more importantly, how not to fold your clothes.

Instead of the traditional method which you are no doubt used to, take your clothes and fold them once into a rectangle before then tightly rolling them up into a cylinder. While it may seem strange, it will free up a large amount of space along with reducing the number of wrinkles and fold marks visible one you unpack everything.

What to Pack
Now that you know how to pack it’s time to learn what to pack. Stick with the following:

• A pair of pants (preferably jeans)
• Tho shirts or blouses
• Five pairs of underwear
• Five pairs of Socks
• One pair of swimming trunks
• Two Bras (if required)

Even if you don’t think that you will need a bathing suit, be sure to pack one as they are one of the most surprisingly needed and versatile pieces of travel clothing you can pack. Of course, don’t forget that you will also be wearing an entire outfit on the plane with you, so consider getting a fresh outfit from the Groupon Coupons page for Express delivered to you work to change into before you leave for the airport.

Personal Items
While you might not like to believe it, you can go outside and face the world without completing your entire beauty routine. To that end, here is what you should pack in your toiletries bag:

• Toothbrush
• Toothpaste
• Sunscreen
• Deodorant
• Climate appropriate moisturizer

If you are concerned that this isn’t going to be enough items it’s important to remember that your hotel will provide you with a range of other personal items which you can use during your stay. So save the space by leaving yours behind.

Electronics
The first thing that people think when it comes to traveling with their electronics is that they are completely essential. After all, how are you going to watch Netflix, check your email, upload your photos to Facebook, etc?

The simple answer is your phone. Instead of taking all of your devices with you, just take your phone. Why? Because along with your laptop comes a bulky charging cable. Your camera has its own proprietary transfer cable. And your tablet has its own plug.

Instead, just take your phone and the one charging cable. Anything else is an extra weight you need not carry around.

When it comes to traveling the world, don’t let your misperception of what you will need to travel to stop you from opening your eyes and experiencing amazing adventures!
