Weekend getaways are something I love, personally. And, assuming that’s the case with most of us. A quick trip away from the fast-paced city life is something you can actually never get enough of. In fact, I like to take one almost every month. But, since they are usually rushed, one can tend to forget key things, so I usually like to put away “a weekend getaway bag” with essentials that one mustn’t ever forget.
First up, do not make this a heavy addition to your luggage, take a light duffle and restrict it only to essentials.
Water-resistant jacket
This is the multipurpose hero of your weekend getaway bag. Whether it gets chilly, rainy or even just cosy, a jacket always comes in handy. Since most of our weekend getaways are to hill stations or beaches, the jacket is an outstanding essential that you will regret missing.
An absolute no-brainer, sunglasses are something you just cannot do without. Whatever the weather, or season, you always need sunglasses. I like to pick day and night ones, so that I can continue to wear them even if it gets dark during the late evenings.
Comfortable sneakers
These do not need to be jazzy or trend-heavy, just make sure they’re functional and comfortable. Basically, not your best pair, cause you run the risk of damaging them too.
A scarf or a shawl
This one’s debatable, since you have the rain jacket, but sometimes in cold winds, nothing wraps and warms like a good shawl. Similarly, a scarf is a great SPF and hair protector too, in case you have heavy winds blowing.
