Take into consideration the limited amount of room you have in your carryon, so you may want to leave home that sixth pair of shoes. Pack clothing that is light and versatile, and remember you don’t need a different pair of shorts to wear every day. The same holds true for any other article of clothing. Pack light but don’t skimp on the essentials.
- Sunscreen is something you won’t want to forget. A bad sunburn is the quickest way to ruin a much anticipated trip. Burns also have harsh long-term affects on your skin.
