How I Packed for a Weekend Charleston Getaway

โœˆ๏ธ While this past week marked my 50th birthday, it also marked by 14th flight in a little over a month. Iโ€™ve been on 14 airplanes in a little over a monthโ€ฆso I know what Iโ€™m talking about when it comes to traveling, packing, and travel organization. From Atlanta to Augusta to the Florida Panhandle to Nashville to Alabama to Jacksonville to Charlestonโ€ฆand Japan in just two weeks, I have been on the go this month. With that said, Iโ€™ve got this travel packing thing down to a science.

๐Ÿฅณ If you read my โ€œCharleston Travel Capsule Wardrobeโ€ post, then you know everything I packed to celebrate my 50th birthday in Charleston, South Carolina. But I used these gadgets to in the process:

โƒ Packing Cubes: all of my clothing fit in three packing cubes with no compression needed.

โƒ 20โ€ Carryon Suitcase: while TSA allows a 22โ€ carryon suitcase, I used only a 20โ€ carryon and had room left over. As for scuffs and stains, those wash right off in the airport restroom with a damp paper towel.

โƒ Makeup Cases: I used one makeup case for my makeup and a smaller case for my liquidsโ€ฆboth of the clear-sided cases I show are TSA-approved.

โƒ Charging Cable Organizer: I swear by this one. I have way to many charging cables to try to store them in random places in my suitcase. This organizer keeps them all togetherโ€ฆand *tidy*.

– 3-in-1 Charger for Apple Devices: makes charging my iPhone, earbuds, and Apple Watch so easy.

โƒ Pashmina for cold planesโ€ฆand WOW was my last flight ๐Ÿฅถ.

โƒ Suitcase Coffee Holder: this one is my favorite. This coffee holder fits on the handle of my suitcase and allows me to walk hands-free through the airport. And it holds two cups: one for meโ€ฆand one for YOU.
