What to pack for a two-day trip
For one night away, start with one change of clothes, sleepwear, daily toiletries, medication, a phone charger, and the documents needed for transport or check-in. Check the weather before adding rainwear or an extra warm layer.
Backpack or suitcase?
A 20–30 litre backpack is usually enough for a simple weekend trip. Choose a small suitcase when you need formal clothes, heavier shoes, children’s supplies, or door-to-door transport with little walking.
Commonly forgotten overnight items
Chargers, medication, contact-lens supplies, sleepwear, a reusable water bottle, and accommodation details are the items most worth checking again before leaving.
