● Tennis shoes for the gym or golf

And here’s a great minimalist packing list for long-term travels.

There are many items that you should not pack, especially if you are carrying an overhead bag on instead of a suitcase. If you are looking to avoid paying extra baggage fees, you should not pack any of the following items:
● Tee shirts
● Items that will not be worn
● Pajamas (if you are going away for only one night)
● More than two pairs of shoes
● Ties (if not going to be worn)
● Suit jacket (depending on how you’ll be conducting business)
What to do Before Traveling
Before you travel out, you should be made aware of certain things/errands that need to be done. This will help ease your mind so that you can take your business or vacation and not have to worry. Here are some suggestions of things to do before traveling:
● Make sure your bills are paid
● Do laundry
● Iron your clothes before leaving
● Pack some extras
● Go over all your upcoming trip details as flights, car, and hotels
● Roll your clothing to make room in your suitcase
● Complete medical checkups and dentist appointments before setting off
Getting these things out of the way before your trip means you’ll have less to worry about and will be able to focus on enjoying the places you’ll be visiting.

Not only will you not want to worry about your phone getting disconnected, or the heating in your apartment being shut off, but you’ll also want to know your body is up to the task.
