In my quest to travel light, I posted last time about eM’s packing list for our weekend Pacific Grove trip. This time, I’ll talks about what I packed for me.

\n

On the way in, I wore a dress with 2 pockets, leggings and a cardigan. This was the only outerwear I took on the trip and it worked out great.

\n

I also wore my black Merrel Mary Janes. This turned out to be perfect – dressy enough, comfortable and can walk a lot in them.

\n

I had a handbag and a cloth tote bag.

\n

Tote Bag Contents:

\n

My tablet, Tablet charger cable

\n

Phone charger, Phone charger cable

\n

Two dresses

\n

I am partial to dresses – especially ones which are light, dry easily, wrinkle free (mostly synthetic fabrics, sleeveless, flowing). More on my dress obsession some other time

\n

Two black full length leggings

\n

I buy mine from Old Navy. These cotton leggings are comfortable , cool when required and warm when required. I wear the capri style leggings when its a little hot outside, but I still feel the need for leggings.

Pajama top and bottom

\n

\n

I was too exhausted and relaxed to go running!

\n

Toileteries Pouch

\n

Glasses

\n

Spare Contact lenses

\n

I ended up taking a large and a small container – since I didn’t realize I already had a small one in my bag. Need to skip the large one

\n

Contact lens case

\n

Body moisturizer filled in a GoToob

\n

Face cream for acne

\n

Next time I need to take all my stuff in a backpack, and maybe get rid of my purse? Any ladies out there who have given up their purse / handbag when travelling? How does that work out for you? What do you use instead? A backpack? Or just pockets in jeans? I’m interested in learning how I can streamline this even more.
