What To Pack For A 2 Week Stay In Atlanta, GA (Summertime)!? [Female!]?

Question

I am leaving for ATL in 7 days and am staying from the 28th to the 10th of July. Along with going to the beach i am also attending a Tom Petty concert =) So any suggestions on a packing list? Oh and when should I start packing. I mean I don't want to pack to early or to late! Thanks!

Answer 1

I would start packing a few days before you leave and what you can do is a few days before you start packing, make a list of everything that use on a daily basis.  Then, as you pack those things, cross them off your list so you know you have them.

I'm not sure what the weather's like there, I'm sure it's hot though. Some things you're going to need on any trip though are:

Shampoo/Conditioner

Shower Gels

Loofah/Shower Sponge

Razor

Toothbrush/Toothpaste/Floss

Blow dryer/flat iron/curling

Towels for the beach

sunglasses

Hair styling things (serums, sprays, etc)

Hair accessories, (things to put your hair up)

Hair brush/comb

Make-up (lips, eyes, face, etc)

Moisturizer for face, hands, and body

Make up remover

Cotton balls

q-tips

Tweezers

band aids

neosporin (you never know)

any medication you take (if you take any)

Deodorant

Tampons/pads

Pants (if it gets cool)

Shirts

Tank tops

Shorts

Pajamas

Underwear

Socks

bras

Sweatshirt (in case it gets cold)

Jacket

Sunblock

Aloe Vera gel in case you get sun burn

Dressy outfit if you go out to dinner etc

Flip flops

Sneakers

Camera

Cell phone

Extra batteries

Cell phone charger

Books/magazines for the beach

I would leave any valuable jewelry at home.

I would also consider wearing pants to the concert unless you have seats, if it's general admission it could get too crowded and you can get your legs scratched up.

For the things that could leak, put them in ziplock bags.  Even the ones that are big.  Like for toothpaste, put them in the bag, cap first and then wrap the bag around the tube and then put a rubber band around the bag and tube.  Now if the tube opens, it won't wreck your clothing!

I hope this helps and that you have a fun and safe trip!!
