PACK FOR A 3DAY HOLIDAY

The extra kilos will drive you at the bench if you are an athlete, on the other hand the extra weight in your journey will cut time, increase your back ache and as a result you will be moaning more. Learn how you should pack for a 3day or weekend holiday:

Book and games

During your travel you can make three things: you can chat with people around you, sleep, or gaze around. For the two first the contents of your back pack can not help you much, unless you use your backpack as pillow. For the third however what you take with you can play an important role. If you do not want to find your self bored to death, it is a clever idea to have with you a book or a portable game.

The travel medical kit

Many are those that prefer packing a second pair of jeans than pack some cream to prevent insect bites. This is big error. However wouldn’t we all prefer to travel around wearing dirty trousers than having a swollen leg and not walking much. For this reason, write on a piece of paper what you should have with you: you need gauzes, antiseptic and antihistamine. Finally, do not forget that the sun protector is as essential in the snow as in the beach.

Comfortable clothes

Forget what suits you, which is your beloved jumper or your lucky jacket. In your bag there is no space for anything of the above. The criterion in order for you to select your clothes should be the following: Only what is absolutely essential. If the days are rainy, bring a thin raincoat. If it is cold, bring a warm jumper and if it is sunny do not forget your sunglasses. Do not bring a second pair of shoes neither second jacket. Just make sure you chose one that suits you well and looks good with the rest clothes you are carrying.

Backpack

Everything starts with your decision regarding where you are planning to pack your things. As you understand, the things that are needed for one to three days holiday do not require a big suitcase that you would have taken with you in America, but they would not fit in your wallet either. Chose an intermediate size bag, which has special handholds and straps for your back, commonly known as a backpack.  Many times over in your travel you want your hands free.

Size matters

Toothbrushes, toothpaste, cologne and shampoo you cannot leave behind. However you could purchase them in travel size. Where you could buy some? Usually you can purchase them from the pharmacy or your local supermarket. Do not forget to buy travel size foam for shaving. You could also check the bathroom of your hotel…

Secured documents

Last check, is everything in? Even if you do forget something it will be minor compared to forgetting your tickets, keys, wallet, or your mobile phone or I.D. All of the above do not just carry them around on you; you should store them together preferably in a safe pocket, which closes with a zipper. If such a pocket does not exist in your bag pack, then it is best that you have them on your jackets inside pocket.

A Snack for the road

Your most basic thing in three-day trips is your independence. You do not want to feel that you are depended, do you want to spent your time searching for a canteen in the street or eating food served in the train? Carry in your bag some snack that you prepared home, or have some peanuts, a few energy bars or an apple. At any time you will be able to replace your energy and cut your hunger.
