2. When my fiance and I go on vacation, especially more than a week long trip, I don’t have problem with packing but she seems to be struggling a little bit. I prefer light packing and she wants to bring a lot with her. But no matter how stressful it was, we always had a great time. thanks for sharing these tips for what to pack. I will share with my fiance

   1. Thanks… I am glad that you liked the packing guide.

5. I always love to plan outfits for travel! I tend to overpack and think of every wild possibility 😂 but it’s still fun, so oh well. I love your suggestions and your tips to travel locally during this time. I live near the Puget Sound so I can also plan a little weekend getaway at the beach.

   1. Puget Sound is a beautiful place. Thanks… I am glad that you liked the suggestions!

6. I love this guide. I tend to be an over-packer. I always try to pack for every eventuality, but then I never use half of it. =/

    1. Thanks…I am glad that you liked the packing list!

11. We have been wanting to go to the beach for so long. I’m hoping we can finally go next year!

    1. I am sure next year things will be much better as far as COVID situation is concerned. Thanks 🙂

12. Great list of things to pack for a long weekend. Sometimes it is easy to overpack or under pack so this is awesome.

    1. Thanks…I am glad that you liked the list!

13. I honestly cannot wait for restrictions to lift. We’re still in fairly strict lockdown in Australia and as I don’t have Aussie citizenship yet, it means very limited travel options once we are allowed to travel again. I would definitely love a beach resort holiday right about now

    1. I hope things get better soon and you can enjoy your favorite beach holiday. Thanks 😊

14. I’m going to have to live vicariously through you because where I live (Victoria, Australia) is in much harsher restrictions right now! Everything is closed except medical offices, post offices, banks, and food places. You can’t go out unless you’re going to one of these places OR you’re going out for exercise, which has a time limit. Only one person per household can go food shopping (and I can’t drive, so that’s not me!), and you’ve got to be back at home by 8pm unless you’re working 😅 We’ve had a LOT of deaths here unfortunately, so it is necessary, and these rules are helping a lot, so they’re going to ease up soon, but I doubt any kind of holidays will be happening here soon! However, as soon they can, I’ll be going on one, so I am saving this post for later 🙌

    1. These restrictions are for good only. We have been through this kind of lockdown and now slowly things are opening up. But if the cases keep on increasing then we might see another lockdown. I am praying this doesn’t happen. I am sure things will be better by the end of this year. I am sure this guide will help you once everything open up in Australia. Thanks 😊

15. This is perfect! It’s nice to maximize your options even when packing light. So this range of brights and neutrals are great to easily mix and match.

    1. Thanks…I am glad that you liked the packing guide!

16. I loveeeee packing outfits for beach vacations! This is a great list for light packing. My go to beach essentials are flip flops, dress and sunglasses. I am all set then!

    Staycations I think might be the next big thing given the pandemic now. Hope you get to enjoy some travelling this year❤️

    1. Thanks you and wish you the same!
       I am glad that you liked the outfits 🙂

17. Although I’ve never been to a beach resort myself before, I would love to go there and experience that one day. Fingers crossed we can get back to travelling safely soon!

    1. Fingers crossed! Thanks 😊

18. Good post and tips, very useful. Things have so much changed now and travellers love visiting beach resorts. Your article will be a good reference for them.

    1. I completely agree with you everything has changed due to COVID. Short vacation or staycation is the only way to take a break!

19. I might be heading on a beach vacation soon. A friend has a relative with a house. So we will be with another family! Super excited.

    1. This sounds so much fun…Have a great vacation!

20. It’s always great to have a packing guide as it can be so easy to forget something. This is a great list, thank you.

    1. I am a big advocate of making list…they make life so much easier! Thanks…

23. great packing list! i especially am coveting and desiring that cute black top with see-through sleeves. dresses are my go to at the beach or such a vacation.

26. Great packing list … for a short vacation. I live in Mumbai and many people have started going on weekend trips to nearby resorts. This will be useful when I plan my next weekend trip.

    1. Oh, you’re lucky to be in Mumbai as there are so many weekend getaways to help you relax and rewind. Thanks 😊

27. I tend to be a light packer, so this list is perfect for me! I have been able to take a couple of short vacations this summer, but nothing like the normal. I can’t wait for more normal vacations again.

    1. I can’t wait for normal vacations too…Thanks!

28. I am a light packer so this list truly aligned with me. Thank you so much for sharing it! It made me feel like someone out there is actually packing the way I pack. Lol!

    1. That’s so cool! Packing light makes life much easier…I am glad you liked the post.

29. This makes me want a resort. I wish I could travel I miss traveling so bad.

30. Next year when summer hits my country, I will be off to beach with this packing guidelines in my mind.

31. This year really has turned our travel plans upside down, hasn’t it? We did a lot of camping this summer, but one of the campgrounds that we stayed at was specifically chosen for their huge dog-friendly beach. While we were there, we spent most of the time on the beach enjoying the sunshine and cool waters, and the items that you listed here would have been perfect for that!

32. This sounds beautiful and it’s all I need right now. Thanks for sharing with us.

33. That’s a nice conglomeration of ideas for packing. With the new normal things are different now and we need to take care of the safety and security items.
