One Week Trip Packing List
Ever start planning a trip and get overwhelmed at the thought of what to bring. I break it down for you as to what to pack depending on your trip.

Normal 7 Day Trip
This is a typical trip where you may or may not have access to laundry facilities. You want enough options so you can change your mind about outfits once you get there.
- 5 tops
- 2 dresses
- 1 pair of pants
- 1 long skirt
- 1 causal shoe
- 1 pair of flip flops
- 1 dressy shoe
Minimal 7 Day Trip
I’m very bad at minimal packing but I’m getting better.
- 4 tops
- 1 pant
- 1 long skirt
- 1 casual shoe
- 1 pair of flip flops
I’ve been using the same packing list since 2005, with a few adjustments. Here are a few things I like to bring that you might not have thought of:
- Plastic bags for dirty laundry and to line trash bins.
- An empty water bottle you can fill once you past airport security.
- Travel packs of tissues in case you encounter bathrooms without toilet paper.
- Mini soap sheets for bathrooms without soap.
- Umbrella
- Travel baby powder to keep you fresh throughout hot sticky days.
- Compression socks for long flights.
- A pen to fill out customs forms.
