2. Condoms: Well... If there is a chance you will be getting in the sack on your holidays you have got to bring condoms.
3. Cloths: Even though the tropics are warm but if a rain and wind squal rolls in it can get rather chilly, rapidly Bring good running shoes, pants and a light jacket.
I believe it is better to bring as little as possible, You never know when you will have to lug your luggage through the airport. Several complete outfits will be sufficient.
4. Sun Protection: SPF 40 to start. Anything lessor and you have a lot higher chance of getting burned. What ever sunscreen you buy it should really also contain either zinc oxide or titanium oxide.
Before leaving on your tropical vacation it is smart to go to a tanning salon. This will help build good start on a tan that helps to resist the intense sun of a tropical location.
5. Toiletries: Obviously bring any prescription medication but it is important to remember Tylenal, Pepto Bismal and other pharmacy items.
It is important to carry any medication in the original container and the prescription also.
Having a more enjoyable vacation to the tropics can be determined by the items that you bring. If you forget an item that is important to your trip it can cause you to have less of a good time. If the item is critical to your health then it can be a threatening situation.
Make a list several weeks before hand of the items that you will need to bring with you. This way you will be able to remember all the little things that you might need while away. |
