Never thought much about what clothes I did or did not need on a vacation to the Caribbean. I just figured some shorts and t-shirts. A bathing suit, a cover up and a couple of dresses. However after being there and I learned such a lot.
First a two piece bathing suit is the way to go. Bottoms and a tankini/long top. Have you ever tried to wrestle taking off a wet bathing suit to go pee? I thought I was going to do myself a mischief trying to get it off. Then it wasn't much better trying to put it back on!!
As things seem to take forever to dry, despite the heat, a couple of bathing suit options is the way to go, so you don't have to put on a damp suit in the morning. Same goes with cover ups. I actually used a shorter t-shirt type dress as a cover up and it worked a charm.
I will say it obviously doesn't matter what size you are and I saw all sorts of shapes of people wearing the skimpiest of bathing suits. The amount of old guys with HUGE beer bellies wearing speedo's was mind boggling.....LOL
The amount of young ladies wearing the skimpiest of bikini's taking 7,000 selfies of themselves by the pool while trying not to get wet was also mind boggling!! Just between me and you; I may or may not have encouraged youngest grandson to splash as much as he wanted to with his toys while they were doing that!! 😜
I had a pair of croc sandals that I used for pool shoes, but wasn't keen on them. I did end up using my birkenstocks but didn't like getting the footbed wet. I have a couple more pairs of croc sandals so need to see if they will work.
I was told to pack light and I did and it worked a charm. Daughter-in-law had some lovely vacation dresses, so I may have to invest in a couple more. Overall though, other than some shorts I think I may just use what I have..........
Do you have clothes that you use exclusively for vacation?
