More packing tips

I decided to do the world a favor (ha!) and pass along some of the thousands of packing tips I have stored up in my brain. So starting today, I'll pass along at least one a day. Here goes...
Think about layering, even if you don't think you'll need it.
Some cities in sunny destinations have "natural air conditioning" -- like the fog in San Francisco or the ocean breezes along the California coast. Then there's the restaurants, malls, museums, theatres and even airline cabins that are so often over air-conditioned. Having a sweater that you didn't think you'd need to put on over that cami will help keep you comfortable. Or, better yet, take a lightweight waterproof jacket that you can stuff into your carry-on or a pashmina type shawl that can even serve as a blanket in flight.
