Pack the clothes you’ll need for the weekend. Think about the location of your destination. Is it near the beach, in a city, in the countryside or on a sea-faring vessel? These diverse destinations call for different types of clothing. For a female: Pick something to wear to bed; two daytime outfits including pantyhose or socks, shoes and costume jewelry, two evening outfits including matching shoes. Pick clothes that you can mix and match for a different look. Pack a swim suit and towel. Depending on the season take a jacket or a coat and snow-boots. For a male: Pajamas, two pairs of blue jeans, socks, underwear, two tee-shirts, pair of sneakers, dress shoes, dress pants, suit jacket, pinstripe dress shirt, tie or bolo tie, swim gear and towel. Winter jacket and boots will be required for cold weather. You need to be ready to dress for any occasion your hosts have chosen.
Pack the toiletries and personal items you will need for your weekend trip. For a female: Shampoo, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, dental floss, tissues, body oil, mousse, hairspray, barrettes, manicure set, birth control, brush, comb, nail polish, polish remover pads, menstrual protection, perfume and contact lens items. For a male: Shampoo, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, dental floss, tissues, hair gel, manicure set, condoms, brush, comb, contact lens items, shaving kit, aftershave and cologne.
