Pack Lightly
I have fantasies of travelling with only a backpack on my shoulder, but I always end up with a car full of “necessities.” Here is a helpful list to keep your packing lighter.
Here is a condensed version of their tips:
- Think it Through
- Make a List
- Know Local Customs
- Heed the Comfort Factor
- Keep Transit Plans in Mind
- Do the Wash-and-Wear Math
- Make Your Clothes Work Hard
- Watch Your Colors
- Practicality Rules
- Follow the Weather
I rarely take a LONG trip in which I have to worry about more than a couple days’ worth of clothing, but I DO have a list that I tend to follow when I’m packing so that I don’t forget the important things. I’ll share that with you tomorrow.
