  1. Weekend trips are so much fun – I hope you have a blast visiting your bestie!
    I haven’t planned a weekend trip in far too long. I typically overpack, so it’s nice to see a realistic list of things to bring!

  2. You know packing for a few days seems like such a simple thing. But, it is not! People like myself tend to over pack which is not fun. Thank you for the ideas.

  3. I loved this list, thanks so much for sharing the most often forgotten items! I’m going on a weekend trip this next weekend for my besties Bachelorette Party, so this post came at the perfect time for me! Thanks for sharing love!

  4. I am the person who packs too much or not enough. I also have stopped bringing my laptop most of the time just because I end up being so busy and worried about it not being safe. LOL You suitcase is adorable. I think the best thing I think I ever did was get a bag with wheels lol
