Packing

[Laangel12]

Ladies, a little help here! First time to Hedo next week & curious if I'm missing anything. What is the NICEST thing you wore? The nicest I have set aside is a sundress for dinner one night. The rest is just theme night outfits & shorts n tanks.
Your help is appreciated!

Elizabeth would say - Perfect!

You're fin with what you have packed. Maybe throw in a bikini in case you want to take a walk down the beach towards Margaritaville. don;t forget, you will need something to wear for breakfast. Bikini, bra and panties or a sarong goes well.

Looks like you have all that you need..... I still find after 16 trips I pack to much..lol... Less is more...

I found that I underpacked for dinner. I brought a couple nice things to wear, but not enough to cover all the nights.

Your sexy stuff is ok to wear to dinner (and all the guests appreciate it if you do), but most people prefer to wear something semi casual. When I wore just a t-shirt and board shorts I felt a little under dressed... too casual.

You'll find that you spend most of the day at the pool or beach, then go to your room before dinner where you have a choice between dressing in theme/sexy right away, or dressing for dinner then changing later for the theme night. If you don't have many little dresses for dinner, you won't have much of a choice.

The heat and humidity make it harder to wear the few outfits you have repeatedly... they get wrinkled and maybe a little funky.

I tend to be more of a boyscout and go with the "be prepared" moto... better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it.

People may be shocked to see his much luggage we gave but going straight from Hedo to a blues cruise

I find that if I go to dinner not in costume, one of two things happen: I get so caught up i don't want to go back, or, I go back and crash.
A sundress is fine!
Breakfast I wear a cover up/sarong.
Less is way more.....

We had mastered packing for trips without checking a bag, but this trip we are checking. So many theme outfits and SOOOO many shoes.

Once you cross the threshold to having a checked bag... you might as well check a big one. No holding back now... just stay under your weight limit.

I agree with all of the above. One more thing I can add is take a few personal or business cards so you can exchange with couples that you may meet and want to stay in contact in the future. Lots of sunscreen and after sun lotion is something I recommend.

[The Travel Slut]

Great idea about the cards....
