The weekend getaways are those idyllic fleeting trips that you prepare with enthusiasm and look forward to doing throughout the week that you suffer at the office. When Friday finally arrives, you return home with the excitement of going on a trip, resting and forgetting about the stress of the week, but before leaving you have to go through a last and hard test, a 'trauma' that not many overcome: to pack. What to put, what not, what size to choose, will it be cold? What if it's hot? Common doubts that end up becoming a headache, and that should not go beyond the fifteen minutes that it will take us to close the luggage, resolved in these 10 simple keys that we discover below.
Packing can be a nightmare. You want to keep your baggage
light and manageable, fitting in everything you need and nothing more. It's an
art every man needs to master to avoid a rather unflattering look over a short
trip. With this simple guide you'll learn what and how to pack for a weekend
break.
Regardless of where you're heading, it's important to
know how to pack for a weekend trip. Stuffing the entire contents of your
wardrobe into an oversized suitcase the evening before you leave is not the
ideal solution. What is important, is your ability to plan and think ahead
about what you want to wear (and what you don't). As well as how to solve the
jigsaw of limited baggage space (particularly when flying), while ensuring your
clothes don't heavily crease.
1. Make a list of what you requirement
Don't blindly trust your alpha male
elephant memory. Have a notebook handy and write down all the little essential
things: the mobile phone, the charger, the bills, the money, pills for the
headache.
2. Control the size of your suitcase
The more space there is, the more
things we will put in, it is a fact. Prioritize and don't oversize, you'll be
out for two days, not two months. If you travel by plane and the objective is
not to check-in, things get complicated. Monitor the measures specified in the
flight conditions of each airline.

in your luggage.

shoes and, in the suitcase, put some sport shoes that you can wear on any
occasion: some corinthian loafers or some suede brogues and rubber soles, for
example.
