PACKING TIPS & THE PACKING LIST .....
Before your vacation, consider what you will need to take along for a perfect vacation.
I have included some packing tips and a packing list to get you started.
PACKING TIPS
 
1. Select luggage with wheels for easier handling.
 
2. Carry some of your clothes in your carry on and put half of your clothes in your travel partners suitcase, in case one suitcase gets lost you will both still have half your clothes.
 
3. Pack your carry on carefully. Travel with one complete change of clothes, a bathing suit, medication and toiletries you cannot live without.
 
4. Label all your luggage with your name, address, phone number and email address (inside and out)
Also include your destination address so they know where to bring it if found.
 
5. Wear the heavier shoes if possible
 
6. If you are scheduled to arrive early at your resort, pack beach gear where it is easy to access so you can hit the beach early, no need to wait for your room to be ready, your luggage will show up later in your room. Go enjoy the buffet and beach, don't waste valuable vacation time.
 
7. Bring things like sunscreen, sunglasses and toiletries rather than planning to buy them at the resort, things are often expensive or not available.
 
8. Pack one scented candle and a lighter in your main luggage (not the carry on)This will help make your room feel like home and take away any damp or musty smells in your room.
 
9. Pack a lightweight foldable bag, place it at the bottom of your luggage, this will come in handy when your bring back all your holiday memories.
 
10. Pack anything that can spill on your clothing in a ZIP LOCK bag... avoid a mess. Take extra ZIP LOCK  bags to collect sand or shells to bring home.
 
11. Roll your clothing to avoid wrinkles.
 
12. Try to dry all clothing on your balcony, wet clothing weighs more.
You will be charged for overweight luggage.  $
