Packing for a Getaway
[dropcap]I[/dropcap] left for a little getaway with my sister for memorial weekend. We were looking for hotels and found one right in front of the beach in Ft. Myers! I don’t mean I have to go down the elevator, awkwardly walk past the lobby back and forth, and sweat all the way down to the beach. I mean I walk about 10 steps out of my adorable bungalow suite and my toes are sunk in the mesmerizing blue water. We were lucky there just happened to be a cancellation and we were able to book it for an entire week. And don’t worry I’ll share lots of pictures very soon!
Packing is horrifying and terrifying and it can get very stressful. I hate overpacking and I am always terrified of leaving something behind but I’ve managed to gather a few tips to help ease the painful packing process.
- Make a list.
- Pack a shirt for everyday you’ll be away but take one away for every dress you take.
- For bottoms, pack 1 for every other day.
- Take laid-back jewelry pieces that will combine with anything you put on (2-4 necklaces/bracelets, 2-3 earrings/rings, 1 belt, 1 scarf, 3 pareos/kimonos).
- Sandals, heels, boat shoes.
- Wear your heaviest/clunkiest clothes and layer to travel.
- This was not on my original list but bring floaties. I forgot my giant dinosaur float and I wanted to cry.
Here a few little things I picked out and actually bought a couple but didn’t make it on time for my trip since it was so last minute!
Odio empacar y se que puede ser muy estresante. No me gusta empacar mas de lo que necesito y siempre me da miedo que se me va a olvidar algo pero he logrado conseguir algunos consejos para ayudar a aliviar el estrés.
- Haz una lista.
- Empaca una camisa para todos cada día que estés de viaje y quita uno por cada vestido que lleves.
- Para los shorts, pantalon, o falda lleva uno para cada otro día.
- Lleva accesorios relajados y combinables que le vayan a lo que sea que has empacado (2-4 collares/pulseras, 2-3 aretes/anillos, 1 correa, 1 bufanda/cardigan, 3-4 pareos/kimonos).
- Sandalias, tacos, flats.
- Para viajar ponte los que mas pesa y aprovecha en usar los layers. Esto no estaba en mi lista original pero lleven flotadores si van en carro. Olvidé mi flotador de dinosaurio gigante y quería llorar cuando me lo recordé
Bueno arriba les dejo un par de cositas que elegí y algunas que me compre, pero no llegaron a tiempo para mi viaje ya que fue un viaje de última hora.
