This will give you enough time to make trips to the store if you are running low on something. Having all the items you’re packing in front of you visually may even help you make some eliminations throughout the week, saving valuable room in your suitcase.  Making a check list a week in advance will ensure you don’t forget anything valuable, as you can add to the list throughout the week. Take note of the items you use on a daily basis, chances are these are what you’ll also need on your trip. Consider talking to friends or acquaintances who have been to the place you’re visiting and see if they have any recommendations for what to bring.  An insider’s view is usually more helpful than Internet research or a guidebook. Not only is it more personalized, but they will be able to answer your specific questions. Analyze each item individually to determine the likelihood of using it during your two-week trip, and whether or not it’s something you can easily buy once you reach your destination, such as toiletries.  Decide if the amount you’ll use the item justifies its weight in your bag. Do ample research on the destination so you’re fully aware of what you will and won’t have access to once you arrive.  Think in terms of items you can get by without, rather than what would be convenient on your trip. If it would be handy to have your trusty coffee press from home, but you will have easy access to inexpensive coffee on every corner, this is probably something you should leave behind. Use lightweight luggage, like a backpack, so more weight can be devoted to the contents. But although luggage with wheels are usually made of heavier material, they do lighten the load on your back. Remember hard luggage helps protect valuables inside, while soft materials are more lightweight and easily conform to fit in the luggage bin, trunk of the car, etc. Not only will your luggage fit into the overhead bin of an airplane, but it won’t weigh you down. When you do reach your destination, you’ll enjoy mobility and spontaneity. Furthermore, everything you packed, from your toiletries down to that extra sweater, will be easily accessible. If you know there are some items you’re likely to need access to regularly, these should be placed at the top of your bag, or on the outside pockets. This will prevent you from needing to dig through all of your belongings just to find that pair of extra socks.  Carrying your bag onto the plane means it’s less prone to getting lost, broken, or stolen. Last minute changes in your flight itinerary will be met with less stress. Save on checked bag fees. If you’re travelling by car or train, save room in the trunk or baggage storage by keeping your bag at your feet the entire trip. This will maximize space and minimize wrinkles. Rather than folding clothes the way you typically would, rolling shirts and pairs of pants make them easier to cram into every free nook and cranny. Don’t worry, they’ll be wrinkle-free when you do take them out to wear.  To roll shirts, fold them in half and place the sleeves onto the body. Begin rolling. With pants just simply fold them in half with the back pockets touching, and roll from either end, making sure not to form any creases. To maximize space inside your bag even further, you can stick the rolled items into a compression bag, available at most travel stores.  This saves room by eliminating the air between clothing. Make sure you don’t stuff too many items into each bag, and be careful of the weight, as it can add up before you realize. Place socks and rolled up t-shirts inside your shoes. Wear your shoes and other bulky items during travel. This will save room and weight in your bag. Layer shirts or sweaters if you’re really tight on space. To save space, you can roll ties, fold them, or pack them with your suit jacket.
