Spring/Summer Carry On Checklist
By Aimee on
So let’s be honest here, I know that many people have gone Pinterest hunting for help on how to pack for their trip away, myself included. So why am I creating a checklist when there is already so many out there? Because I love lists! I love double checking with what I have put on my list and ticking things off or highlighting them. It makes me feel like I have achieved something.
So today I am going to share with you my checklist for a spring/summer get away. Now I think what you pack for two weeks is the same as what you pack for two months as you can do washing in between anyway, and being a spring/summer holiday you won’t need big jackets and things so travelling should be pretty light. I’m going to Japan later this year in July, and will be there for two weeks so I will be using this exact checklist. The Japanese are a bit more conservative when it comes to clothing as well, so when I write “shorts” I’m going to be wearing shorts that go just above my knee. If I was going to Bali my shorts would be mid-thigh, just as an example.
Clothes:
- 1x Maxi Skirt
- 1x pair of Shorts
- 1x pair of Jeggings
- 1x nice going out dress (skirt/top)
- 4x tank tops / t-shirts
- 1x scarf/shawl/sarong (to cover up in temples and shrines or to use as a picnic blanket)
- 5x pairs of underwear
- 2x Bras
- 4x pairs of socks
- 1x bathers
- 1x pair of walking shoes
- 1x pair of nice flats
- 1x pair of thongs (flip flops)
Accessories/Electronics:
- 1x necklace
- 1x sleeping mask
- 1x headphones (I have sleeping headphones that double as a mask)
- 1x mobile phone and charging cables
- 2x converter wall plugs (for wherever you are flying)
- 1x e-reader and charging cables (if necessary)
- 1x camping clothes hanger
- 1x small notebook
- 2x pens
- 1x pair of sunglasses
- Passport
- Purse
- All paperwork/itineraries/tickets necessary
Toiletries: (all liquids in travel sized containers)
- Shampoo/Conditioner/Body wash
- Toothbrush
- Toothpaste
- Moisturiser
- Brush/comb
- Lip balm
- Razor
- Mascara
- Eyeliner
- BB cream
- Roll on deodorant
- Hair ties and bobby pins
So there you have it! My ultimate summer packing list. If you think of anything you think would be necessary to add let me know! I occasionally bring a camera but have decided against putting it in the list. And I don’t think a tablet is necessary as my phone is everything I need it to be.
