Tomorrow I leave for Phoenix on a 7am flight. Of course, Philadelphia weather is nothing to be desired right now. I just got back from the gym, and had to navigate through puddles and cold, almost frozen rain mid-December. Going from one climate to another is absolutely a nightmare for a one bag traveler. Especially when there are unexpected conditions for not only when you depart, but also when you arrive.
One important thing to do is of course 1. Check the weather, but in addition to this you'll want to have some things with you to make sure that you're braving the elements. When in doubt with rain, and I know I'll be doing a lot of outside maneuvering, I bring my umbrella. My umbrella is pint sized (literally!) and can fit in the front pocket of my airboss bag. This may seem like a no brainer to you. Of COURSE pack an umbrella when it's raining, duh! But there are other things that you may not have considered.
How about those shoes? I usually travel with only a pair of sneakers and a pair of heels. As a woman, these two are essential travel necessities. Well, Let me remind those of you who haven't been in the rain recently in sneakers... They get soaked to your socks!!! And rain can ruin a good pair of heels. So what to do?
Wear a pair of hiking/trail sneakers. These babies are made for rugged weather, and you can wear them when you work out. Absolutely brilliant isn't it?
I recommend anything keen. They are waterproof, stylish and functional.
