Last weekend when I went to Ocean City with the family, I attempted to pack even lighter! Meaning I was able to stuff 7 outfits and three bathing suits in a tote bag. This also includes my toiletries and unmentionables. In a cooler bag, I packed my shoes and books. When I got to my condo, I just emptied the shoes/books and used the cooler on the beach as planned.
Even still with all that, I over packed. While in Ocean City, I was either in my bathing suit or my pajamas. I really didn't need all those extra clothes. As for the shoes, mostly I wore my flip flops.
I came across this article: "What essentials would you pack for a week long getaway?"
Hmm... it got me thinking....
This weekend I'm heading to Savannah for a quick weekend trip with the BFF. Again, our agenda will be simple. Just beach and lots of restaurants with a bit of sight seeing. I won't need to pack 5 outfits. In fact, my plan is to pack whatever I can fit into my book bag. I will also bring a small tote that will include my laptop and camera. The tote will also double as a purse during my daytime excursions.
I'm leaving a lot of stuff behind and reducing to this:
2 bathing suits
2 summer dresses
1 jean w/ long sleeve shirt
Pajama
toiletries
unmentionables
2 shoes (flip flop and wedges)
Camera/laptop/blackberry/charger
That's it.
To be honest, I'm really giving myself an epic *side eye* but I'm really going to try and attempt this.
What essentials must you take with you for a weekend getaway? A sista wants to know....

Well, my friend I applaud your efforts :) impressive.. If perhaps you got a Android or even *cough* an Iphone you could leave behind the laptop.. However I suspect your gonna say you need the laptop for work ?
Safe travels!
