Weekend Getaway Packing List

How to pack for a weekend trip in a single bag?

Versatility is key for a great weekend trip. Try these three simple 'weekend warrior' rules to make the most of your space:

• The 'Rule of Threes' means packing three shirts and two pairs of pants or shorts that you can mix and match for at least four outfits. Wear your bulkiest items, such as a jacket or boots, while traveling to save space in your bag.
• Toiletries Mini-Audit: For a two-day trip, skip the big bottles. Our Travel Packing List is great for longer trips, but for weekends, just pack a small bag with items that serve more than one purpose, like tinted moisturizer with sunscreen or a 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner.
• The Tech Minimalist: If you can, leave your laptop at home. Check the 'Electronics' section of our weekend log to make sure you only bring your phone, a fast charger, and your e-reader.
