Going out of town this weekend? Do you always stress over forgetting items and then being stranded without the essentials to make it through weekend? Well, rest easy my friend! I give you a few tips for an easy checklist!

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. 
    

   Clothes~
   First and foremost, the clothes. You can't go on a trip without clothes! Depending on how many day you are going to be out of town. Plan enough outfits for each day you will be gone. Don't forget the PJS.

2. 
    

   Underwear, Socks & Shoes~
   We've all left at least one of these behind! Don't get caught without your bloomers!

3. 
    

   Bathroom necessities~
   Ok, now here is where we start to draw blanks, right? Well, here you go.
   ~Toothbrush
   ~Toothpaste/floss/mouthwash
   ~Hairbrush
   ~Straightener (women) or Hair gel (men)
   ~PLEASE, don't forget your DEODORANT!!
   ~Makeup
   ~Razors/Shaving Cream
   ~Shampoo & conditioner
   ~Body wash
   ~Tampons, Pads
   ~Bandaids
   
   There you go...Of course, there may be things that you choose to add or remove from my list.

4. 
    

   Cell phone & Charger~
   Don't forget the charger!

5. 
    

   Digital camera, batteries, and/or charger~
   Also, make sure you have room on your memory stick.

6. 
    

   Plane tickets, Hotel accommodations, rental car~
   Make sure to remember your confirmation printouts, etc.

7. 
    

   Drivers License, credit cards & passports
   We don't want to be caught without these things..Trust me.

8. 
    

   Have kids? Don't forget them! Just kidding. But, if so...Don't forget:
   *an extra pair of clothes
   *double the underwear
   *Sippy cups
   *Snacks on the way
   *Games, books, color crayons, etc to keep them busy
   
   And for you...Ear Plugs. You may be hearing, "Are we there yet?" A lot on your trip.

9. Remember to make your checklist with your own needs & must haves. Have fun!
