You’ve checked the weather and there’s a chance of rain at your destination. Your rain coat takes up a lot of room in your luggage. Should you take it?
If you really aren’t going to need a rain coat for an extended period of time, think about picking up a couple of ponchos at a discount store. They don’t take up much room in your luggage and if you need them, you have them. You can always leave them behind when heading home.
Forgot your umbrella? Don’t stress. Almost every city has vendors selling cheap umbrellas. You can always buy one and leave behind as well.
