Definite Must Haves for a Caribbean Vacation!


Don't get caught SLIPPING as I did in the above picture taken at Dunn's River Falls, Ocho Rios, Jamaica.  


Are you going to the Caribbean soon?  LUCKY YOU!  Make sure you're prepared for your trip by coordinating your clothing so that you don't pack as heavily as I have in the past.  The more you plan/map out your attire ahead the better off you'll be.  If you tend to pack at the last minute this is where you are throwing the bathtub and kitchen sink into your suitcase and by the way.... that would lead to HEAVY/OVERWEIGHT baggage fees!  Avoid these fees by making sure you check with your travel agent or airlines to make sure you know your baggage weight limits.  Tomorrow I will post: "How to Weigh Your Luggage at Home."


Here is a list of items that you DO NOT want to travel to the Caribbean without:
1. Bug Repellant (Unless you want to be the new food of the Caribbean I would not suggest leaving home without it)
2. Camera and/or underwater camera (You do not want to have to buy a camera or miss beautiful shots and/or attractions)
3. Sun glasses
4. Sun screen/block or Tanning lotion
5. Long pants for the evening hours.  Bugs love to bite at night especially as that bug repellant is wearing off and when you can't see the them!
6. A light jacket
7. Umbrella (Yes, it case it rains on your parade.  I hope it doesn't!)
8. Swimwear
9. Beach bag
10. Casual sandals (You can bring flip flops but the thong tends to make the insides of your big toe and second toe a bit irritated or raw if you walk long distances in them.  Short distances are fine.)
11. If you're going to be on a non resort beach bring a couple beach towels

Additionally:
I would LEAVE all jewelry, except for wedding rings/bands AT HOME, or locked away safely.  I also would not walk around town with my purse/wallet.  Take only the money that you will need for the trip of the day and put that money in your FRONT pocket(s).
