On Becoming Vacation Minimalists With The Little Minimalists Part-2: The Basics

Vacation minimalists-Part #2: The Basics

 

What are the basics?

 

Depending on how you look at it the basics can be a lot of things.

To some people it’s: One of everything in their closet, (you never can predict what the weather is going to be like, or if your new found crush is just around the corner you just have to be ready.) plus all of the cosmetics in their medicine cabinet, (or if your a guy you might just want to bring along your new weight-lifting set, after all you never can tell who you’ll meet.) and they might bring along just about everything else in their house “Just In Case”. Then their are some people who just bring what they happen to be wearing at the time and maybe a toothbrush.

And then there are some people who pack simply, and these people are minimalists.

When packing simply for one four-day weekend you look ahead at the weather forecast and see generally what the weather is going to be like for the time that your there. Feeling uncertain, well if you check a couple days before you are going to arrive, and a couple days right after you leave.

(For example: if the forecast is cold and rainy and miserable all week and then it’s somehow beautiful and sunny and warm just the time that you happen to be there, then you probably want to pack some warmer things as well.)

Also, when packing you think ahead about what you are going to do. Are you going to just sit around in the hotel and do nothing but watch TV the whole time, or go wine tasting, or maybe you’re planning on going for lots of hikes. (Hey girls! If your packing for a trip where you are going to go on hikes if your worried that your going to find your new-found love you really needn’t be embarassed about what you wearing, because really no guy will hate you because you didn’t happen to be wearing a cocktail dress on the hike where he met you.)

Also another think that you take into consideration when thinking about what your going to do while your there is the cosmetics. If you are sitting around by yourself and watching TV the whole time you don’t need to be in full makeup, or if you’re on a hike you don’t need to wear a full suit to go on a hike.
