For me, the hardest part about traveling is getting my pet bird there. Otherwise, packing is a breeze. Here is what a woman should pack for a weekend trip:

Clothing Items:
- Leggings for each day
- A shirt for each day
- Panties for each day
- 1 bra
- Socks for each day
- A pair of comfortable shoes (you can just wear them if you’re only using 1 pair of shoes)
- A dress, skirt, or dress slacks if going to a more formal event
- Bathing suit & beach towel if appropriate

Toiletries to pack for a weekend trip:
- Toothbrush and toothpaste–travel toothpaste if flying
- Deodorant, facial soap, a couple of hair ties
- Makeup
- Brush & comb
- Sanitary napkins or tampons if needed

Other Items to Pack for a Weekend Trip:
- 1-2 reusable water bottles
- Hand sanitizer
- Books, cell phone, or other items for entertainment, but I would keep these to a minimum if possible.

All of these items should fit into a decently sized backpack or a weekend bag. If not, then definitely a carry on sized suitcase, and really, this should be all that you need for a weekend trip.
