Essentials – Let’s start with some of the things that you really need.

1. Passport
2. Travel Documents– I always put one in my suitcase and an extra copy in my carry on just in case.
3. U. S. Dollars – I usually bring fives and ones for tipping and if I can extra cash for spending.
4. Debit and or credit cards. (Be sure to contact your bank to let them know you will be traveling.)
5. Snacks for the plane. We all know the snacks they offer you to purchase on the plane are overpriced and not that good. I always take something salty and something sweet.

Toiletries

1. Hair products – Shampoo and conditioner
2. Medications – I always pack anything I am subscribed and I take extra, like for headaches or upset stomach just in case. I would rather have it and not need it than to not bring it and need it. Of course you can purchase things at the gift shop.
3. Deodorant
4. Feminine products
5. Toothbrush and toothpaste
6. Body Wash

Tech

• Cell Phone
• Camera
• Power adapters
• Headphones
• This time around I bought a phone tripod that comes with a remote. This is perfect if you are traveling solo or just want to take pics on your own without having to ask someone to. I will include some pics that I took with it.

Shoes – I always take a few pairs of shoes and sandals. I take flip flops which I lounge around in during the day. Tennis shoes for working out and nice sandals for dinner. I also took these amazingly affordable water shoes I found on amazon.

Let’s not forget about the clothes. So the way I pack is if I’m going to be in Jamaica for 7 days and 7 nights I take 14 outfits. Seven for during the day and seven at night. I also put one outfit in my carry on in case my luggage gets lost. For my daytime outfits I pack cover ups and sundresses, because I want to be as comfortable as possible, as I’m usually lounging around at the pool or beach. I also bring a workout outfit for the gym and shorts and a t- shirt for an excursion. I do pack an extra outfit or two just in case. I like to be safe. You never know what can happen.

It’s also easier for me to roll my clothes and add them to the suitcase instead of folding them. It makes more room.

Let me know if you found this helpful. How do pack for your trips?
