Q&A for How to Pack for a Two Week Trip

Store all of your travel-sized items together to make packing easier! Since these items are mostly small, it's easy to lose track of them if they're spread out. Pack travel-sized items all into one or two large plastic bags, and then you can place these into your luggage for quick access.

Roll up all clothes and put any small objects into open areas in shoes, hats, suitcase side pockets, etc.

Yes, a regular handbag is okay to take on boats and planes. On a plane, usually you will be asked to stash your bag in the overhead compartment or under the seat during takeoff and landing.

Just to be safe, I would say 4 sweaters, 2 coats, 2 hats, 2 scarfs, 2 pairs of pajamas and 1 robe. It kind of depends, though. If you are going to be out in the snow a lot, you might want to bring extra stuff so you can change when your clothes get wet. Don't forget a pair or two of gloves!

You can bring food with you through security and onto the airplane, you just can't bring large quantities of liquids through security, so you have to buy drinks in the airport.

Many people choose to roll clothes for travel packing because this will reduce creases so you wont have to iron them and hang up in the room to let the creases fall out. There are many small packing bag options too, such as vacuum bags, underwear bags, etc. that make packing neat and easy. Remember to pack less than you think you need, most people overestimate.

It depends on where you are going. If you are going to a sunny place full of flowers, you may need to spray on some bug repellent. If you are going on a cruise or somewhere rainy, I don't think you'll need any bee repellent (make sure you check your soda for bees, though!).

If you want to pack light, two should be enough, since you can wear one while the other dries.
