Make a packing list.
Start things off by making a list of all the items you’ll need to pack for your trip. Take into consideration the local weather for the area to which you are traveling, as well as the different events, functions and activities you will be attending over the weekend. By making a list, you might be able to cut out a few non-essentials before you even start packing your bag. Plus, you’ll have an easy way to check and make sure you’ve repacked your belongings at the end of the trip.
