Getaway outfit and weekend travel packing list

A getaway outfit should be handy at all times, just in case you have a chance for a lovely travel weekend or an extended holiday weekend.

There are many types of weekend trips, and you can tweak your outfit for casual or dressy, a girls weekend or romantic. Also for the climate.

travel bag:

I prefer a light weight bag like a leSportsac, but if you are driving it is a chance to take a beautiful designer bag, even if it is a bit heavier.

A backpack style is terrific especially if you are hiking or camping.

Fabulous weekend travel bags

	A lovely bag from London Fog. If you need a wheeled suitcase, this one is not only great looking but it's not heavy even though it has wheels. Sharp, unique colours and patterns.
	This bag from Victorinox made of ballistic nylon so it will last. It has a sleeve for placing it over your luggage. It is roomy and expands for extra space. The shoulders strap is removable. It also has an excellent warranty.
	This large weekender from one of my favourite brands (LeSportsac) is so cute. Extremely light weight and perfect for a quick getaway. Nice adjustable shoulder strap.
	When carrying your stuff around, sometimes only a backpack will do. A bag to use for that hiking trip. Nice padded straps and several compartments. I have even used mine as a carry-on for longer trips.
