What to pack: a checklist so you forget nothing
Pack for the trip you are actually taking, not the one you imagine in a catalogue.

The suitcase is the last chapter of the plan, not a panic the night before.
Pack for the weather you will have
Not the weather in the photographs. The one in the forecast, and a layer for being wrong.
The list that actually matters
- Documents and a way to reach them offline
- One outfit you could wear to dinner on the first night
- The charger you always forget
- Less than you think
If you cannot lift it comfortably, you packed someone else’s holiday.
Leave space for the object you will want to bring home. The trip will hand it to you.
