My boyfriend Sam and are heading off to the mountains this week and thought we'd show you what our travel essentials are! Also just so we're clear, this is just our side bags for the road trip down, not our duffle bags. Those are literally jam packed with clothes as we without fail, over pack every single time we go away and we don't want to embarrass our selves.

Laptop - I only have this in my side bag solely for the reason I don't trust it's not going to get crushed
by our bags in the trunk. Possibly a sign of over packing? Maybe.
