What to Pack for a Short Trip

ADVICE FROM A TRAVEL AGENT

When packing for a short trip whether it be a weekend getaway or an overnight stay, there are a few things you should always have on your list. you might think a shorter trip would equate to less stress but sometimes travelling can be overwhelming. No worries though, I’ve put together a few tips on what to pack to put your mind at ease.

PRO TIP: CARRY–ON ONLY

This is by far one of the easiest ways to get your packing started and finished with little to no hassle. If you’re travelling by plane, majority of airlines allow you to bring one carry-on and a personal item for free. So make sure to opt for the ticket with this allowance. You wont have to worry about your luggage being accidentally sent on its own vacation somewhere 5,000 miles from where you are either.
