Packing for a week long holiday can be quite stressful.
You always run into the risk of packing too many warm clothes when they're not needed, or not enough good clothing for the activities you want to do.
The best thing to do right off the bat is to have a rough plan of what you'll be doing while you're away.
The best trips are often spontaneous, but a little planning takes the worry out of it.
Most people go out to a fancy restaurant while they're away, so make sure to pack a nice shirt and pants or a dress.
These clothes can also double for a night out at a dance or a show.
There's nothing worse than being turned away from a nice place because you don't meet the dress requirements.
If you don't end up going out anywhere fancy, you can always dress up and go anywhere.
Put on your finest digs and go to a fast food restaurant.
An extra pair of walking shoes can never hurt, either.
The best way to see somewhere new is to walk; you will spot the things that are often overlooked if you drive or use public transport.
Having an extra pair of shoes means that you will always be comfortable when you're out and about, because you can change from one pair to another every other day.
The other pair can be worn if you get a hole in your first pair or they get too dirty and wet to wear.
