Minimum toiletries
Don't pack your oversized bottle of shampoo in your travel bag for the weekend getaway. Pack limited travel-size items that will work just as well but not create extra weight. Look for dry toiletries like shampoo bars and toothpaste tabs.
Hauling around oversized backpacks and suitcases while on the road can cause a traveler literal pain. Don't strain the back by bringing items that won't be practical on the trip. Packing light will put the energy and focus on enjoying the trip. Life is better when traveling, especially when one can travel light.
