So... What\'s in it?\<\/strong\>\<br\>\r\nYou\'d be amazed what I can fit in a weekender, but it\'s all very utilitarian. No books, no papers, in fact nothing I can possibly get by without.

The 22\" fits in all but the smallest planes\' overhead bins, so no checked luggage.

What\'s in it?\<\/strong\>\<br\>\r\nA swimsuit, obviously; my current favorite is Modcloth\'s retro Fruity Suity. It reminds me of something Esther Williams might have worn. I\'d also have the Scala sun hat, a wide-brimmed hat that provides SPF 50 (I currently have three in red, green and yellow!), my 13-year-old\'s GoPro to catch her surfing the waves, my marbled cone shell found on a 2007 walk along Wailea, some Keen water sandals for rough lava rock beaches like Makena, a lightweight sweater to dress up for the island\'s fancier restaurants, and some L\'Oreal Total Repair Extraordinary Oil to keep me from looking too windblown!\<br\>\<br\>

This post is a sponsored collaboration between Gothamist and the Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card from American Express.
Can you fit your whole trip in the overhead bin? Packing for short journeys can be surprisingly tough! With the help of SPG Amex, we asked six travel pros to share their ideal weekend destination and exactly how they'd stuff that carry-on for a few days away.
These six world travelers are also known as "SPG Amex Stars," who help spread the word about the great travel benefits of being an SPG Amex Card Member.
Become an SPG Amex Card Member and redeem Starpoints for free nights and flights—choose from over 1,000 hotels and resorts and 150 airlines, with no blackout dates in sight. You'll earn one Starpoint for every eligible dollar spent on the Card and double Starpoints on stays at participating Starwood Hotels & Resorts. You can also transfer Starpoints to 30 frequent flyer programs. Even better? The first year fee is free for new Card Members. Learn more and sign up today!
