Default Should I bring extra Shorts or extra pants for visiting the next 2 weeks

Hello All,

Am planning a visit for the next 2 weeks. Should I bring extra long pants (chilly?) or extra shorts? (warm enough for?)

I would say some of each. Nights and early mornings might be coolish. For instance, it's supposed to be 42 tomorrow morning, but then it's going to recover back into the 70s after that. We played pickleball in very windy, cool afternoon conditions last week, only to be followed by mid 70s and humid on the court Sunday morning.

So hedge your bets and you won't go wrong. Bring a jacket of some sort. Hopefully you won't have to wear it, but it never hurts. Wear it on the airplane, which is always set to 20 below anyway.

Have fun!

Whatever you do, bring extra......wouldn't want you wearing the same thing every day for 2 weeks.

Seriously, hope you enjoy your time in TV. Listen to CFrance, she wouldn't steer you wrong.

Depends on where you are from. Way up north: shorts. From a tropical area: long pants and a jacket.

Coming from a northern state we don't use a jacket when temps near 50. Traveled for a living brought 3 pairs each, and 10 shirts, one light jacket. All fit in carry on. You will have a Washer and dryer in house.

Besides, can anyone tell the difference between khakis. All my pants and shorts come from Duluth, so quick dry and all are same style

I wear shorts pretty much every day. When it gets cool, I swap my flip flops for Skechers Go Walks and put on a sweatshirt.

Bring shorts, and maybe a pair of pants. Usually you don't wear long pants here, at least speaking for myself.

If you have nice legs, bring extra shorts. If not, bring long pants.
