Packing too much takes away from the experience of travel which is all about discovery and adventure…
As soon as I get to my destination I like to get my body moving, usually with a nice, stretchy yoga class but for a short trip I’ll just hit the hotel gym for a quick sweat session.
This is my comprehensive packing list for a weekend wedding we are going to in Nyack, NY. 

One pair black leggings (to wear on the plane and work-out in upon arrival)
work-out socks
One black jacket – leather or blazer (worn on plane)
Warm socks (packed in carry on for after take-off)
2 t-shirts (my favorites on sale here)
sports bra
boyfriend jeans (to wear to dinner and for plane ride back)
dress for wedding
Sandals or ballet flats (easy access shoes for flying)
cute PJ’s (or sleep in the buff for ultra light-packers)
Bathing suit
Large cozy scarf (to stay warm on plane)
Sunglasses
Essential oils
I-pod
A good book and a journal (I tend to do my best thinking on airplanes)
