A Few Final Packing Tips
- Check the weather before you pack. Temperatures can vary significantly, even within the same state. Layers are useful for cool mornings, warm afternoons, and chilly evenings.
- Pack for your activities. A beach vacation, a theme-park trip, and a snowy mountain getaway each call for different essentials. Use the destination-specific sections above to customize your list.
- Keep important items accessible. Store identification, medications, phone chargers, and reservation details where you can reach them easily.
- Leave a little room in your luggage. Extra space can be useful for souvenirs, shopping, or clothing you pick up along the way.
