When you are planning a weekend break, maybe at a Bed and Breakfast establishment, how to make the most of your time in your destination is obviously a priority, but did you know that a few simple procedures when packing before you leave can free up time when you arrive, making it easier to maximise the enjoyment of your time away?
When packing for weekend trips to Berlin, for example, it may be worth separating your clothes into individual clear plastic bags. This can be useful when you arrive, or if you are stopped at customs, as you can retrieve items from your luggage without fuss and can save on damage to your clothes if your toiletries leak during transit.
If your suitcase is not sectional, try using a piece of cardboard as a divider, so if you are required by customs officials to empty your bag for inspection, you can do this in one easy movement. This can also help to keep your suitcase organised, so locating the piece of clothing or toiletries you want will be a simple and easy process. If you are visiting friends while you are away and are bringing them gifts, do not wrap them before you leave, as if your bag is inspected, customs officials will be required to open them to see what the contents are.
It is also recommended that you roll your clothes rather than folding them when packing your suitcase. You will find that you can fit more items in if you do this. Wrapping them in tissue paper will ensure they are not badly creased when you remove them at your destination.
Use your common sense when packing for a weekend trip. If your stay is only two nights, it does not make sense to take enough clothes for a week long stay. Less is definitely more.
