Packing for vacation depends a lot on where you’re going and on how much you are going to stay there. One week beach or fishing vacations don’t require as much gear as longer cultural vacations. On the beach or at fishing, all you need is to just have something to wear, but when going to big cities, in museums or attending concerts or theater plays, you need to carry with you proper outfits for those occasions. You’ll want to take with you your best Coach bags, or at least one of them, your Born Miriam boots and many other items such as jewelry and clothing accessories. All these can add a lot to your luggage, so there’s a question that raises in this case: would it be better to have one huge luggage containing everything, or two smaller suitcases would help you get organized a bit better, allowing you to group your items depending on some personal criteria?
This is a personal choice, but keep in mind that if you travel by car and have to stop over night on the road, you might better have a small case prepared with all required things for spending that night, with spare socks, with spare clothing and with personal hygiene items. This can be a tote bag, you don’t have to put all these into those big duffel bags. This way, it would be easier for you to unpack only the needed things, while the others will be left alone in the bigger luggage bag.
What do you think? How’s best for you?
