Quick Tips
for Caribbean Trips
It can be
easy to forget a few things during the hustle and bustle of packing.
In order to prevent you from smacking your forehead in exasperation
as you board the plane, we’ve put together a handy-dandy guide to
make sure your all-inclusive Caribbean vacation sails as smooth as a
catamaran. From packing tips to daily advice, we’ve got you covered
Pack a
Waterproof Camera
Sure, crystal
clear water is ideal for swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving in the
Caribbean Sea, but not so much when it comes to dropping your camera
into the tide and losing your memories due to a case of the
butterfingers. Bring a waterproof camera – it’ll put your mind at
ease, so you can splash and frolic at the base of a waterfall with
nary a worry in sight.
Bring
Rechargeable Batteries
You’re
going to be snapping pictures in all directions, so regular batteries
just won’t do. Save the bank (and luggage space) by purchasing
rechargeable batteries to capture every spectacular moment.
Include
Hair Clips/Ties
If your locks
are long, this must-have accessary will keep the salty breeze from
wafting tresses directly into your mouth. Trust us - this makes a
huge difference, especially when you’re windsurfing.
Don’t
Forget Your Medications
As you’re
packing up, it’s easy to get excited about those sandy white
beaches and to forget your prescriptions. A few days before you
leave, you should make sure your supplies are stocked and talk to
your pharmacist to make sure you don’t need to bring anything else.
Footwear:
Bring a Supply of Sandals
Packing light
is always a challenge. (What if you need that
bathing suit, too?) Rest at ease, you won’t require more than two
pairs of sandals – one for dressy romantic dinners and one for more
casual pursuits. Stilettos don’t fare too well in this sandy
terrain.
Protect
Your Eyes with Some Sweet Shades
You’ve been
waiting for the perfect excuse to splurge on those glamorous
sunglasses. And now – it’s here! Not only will the specs fling UV
rays away from your eyes, your pictures will be tres
elegante, too.
Cover Up
Wardrobe
changes throughout the day may seem glamorous, but the novelty
quickly wears off. By packing a comfy, cute cover up you can keep
swimsuit-ing in style as you sip mimosas by the pool or read a spicy
novel on the warm sand.
Water,
Water, Everywhere
Drink up! The
Caribbean sunshine and flowing adult beverages will leave you
thirsting for some good ol’ H2O. The last thing you want is to be
dehydrated during your romantic getaway, as this can cause headaches
and put a real damper on things. Try adding a few slices of orange or
lemon to infuse your water with minerals and nutrients depleted
during a day in the sunshine.
Apply Lots
of Sunblock
You may have
imagined coming home from your Caribbean adventure bronzed and
beautiful, but sunburn can sap the fun right out of it. Apply
sunscreen regularly to keep the smiles coming!
Make a
To-Do List
Don’t leave
your island paradise with regrets. Start working on that to-do list
now. Zip lining? Horseback riding? That gourmet restaurant you read
about? If you keep it on your phone, you’ll be ready to edit the
list whenever inspiration strikes.
Enjoy Your
All Inclusive Vacation
Finally,
don’t forget to smile (although all of the awesome times you and
the love of your life will have makes this tip a bit of a
no-brainer). Discover more ways
to maximize the fun during your stay at your all inclusive Caribbean
resort – we’ll see you soon!
