Getting out of Melbourne for a weekend trip can be a great way to reconnect with a group of friends, your significant other, or simply yourself. Once you have set a date, made an itinerary, booked accommodation and sorted Melbourne airport parking, the only thing that's left to do is pack!
We thought we'd make your quick getaway as easy on the mind as possible by offering up some great packing tips.
Avoid unnecessary dramas, make a list!
Plan ahead
The devil is in the details. Even on short trips away, you don't want to be caught missing an essential item like your phone charger, the hotel booking confirmation, or undies. So to avoid unnecessary dramas, make a list of things you're going to need – taking local weather into account.
The basics
Unless you're planning a weekend on the beach, comfortable walking shoes will be an absolute must. There's little worse than blisters on your feet while sightseeing, so bring those sneakers.
In terms of clothing, think versatility. It's unlikely that you're going to have time or space to change your outfit five times a day, so pack items that are easy to mix-and-match. A pair of dark blue jeans will go with a simple black T-shirt as well as an elegant evening top. Throw a navy blazer over the top and you can easily dress up most outfits to suit an evening out.
Getting down to packing
Once you get to the actual packing side of things, put all shoes on the bottom. You might also want to consider consider stuffing them with your socks and undies too, to conserve precious space. When it comes to toiletries, we know that it can be hard to cut down on the essentials. But, keep in mind that you can't take more than 100ml per bottle and only one litre of liquids total in a carry-on.
Finally, our pro tip for making things fit in a small bag: roll it up. It not only saves space but also keeps your clothes from wrinkling in odd places!
