What items do you pack on a caribbean holiday?
Question by Rachel: What items do you pack on a caribbean holiday?
My husband and I are going on a trip to Cuba this fall and this will be the first trip south for me. I have almost no clue what I am supposed to bring aside from the normal. The details are killing me! If anyone has a suggestion for me of certain things to bring to make the week easier, please let me know!

Bring some thongs for the beach. Say hi to Fidel for me.
What do you think? Answer below!
Sunscreen, sunscreen, and more sunscreen.
I would say sunscreen, a sunhat, bug spray, swimgear, beach towel/bag, sunglasses, camera, and room for souvenirs!
Also, buy Carmex, it is really useful when you get sunburnt or have cracked lips. I put it on just before I sleep and by the morning my lips feel 50% better!
Also, do some research to make sure your cell phone will work there! You may need a SIM card, I had to get one when I went to Europe.
Passport
Sunscreen
Sunglasses
Swim Suit
Sarong
Cash
Asprin for your hangover
Comfortable Sandals
Club Dress or Dressy shirt for Night Clubs
Camera
All the above answers are really good, but be sure to bring a hat, too! Nothing like getting a burn on your head, or suffering from sunstroke! Also, if you wear cosmetics, be sure to purchase the type that have sunscreen in them, such as foundation and lipstick. A friend of mine had a horrible sunburn on her lips that too a very long time to heal. Have a GREAT trip!
Clothes
There are many high-tech fibers that are stylish, wrinkle resistant, comfortable, easy to pack and take minimal space. Wrinkle resistance is especially important since you probably don’t want to invest a lot of time on your vacation ironing clothes.
Accessories
There are many simple accessories that are minimal in size and maximum effect. For men consider items such as colorful shirts and ties. For women consider scarves in silk and a couple of small purses. Think small with maximum effect.
Shoes
Good walking shoes are important for the vacation as well as during your traveling. On most vacations a good pair of dress shoes is also worthwhile for a evening out on the town.
When traveling always wear comfortable shoes. You don’t know how much walking and standing you will have to do. A good pair of comfortable tennis shoes or loafers will help minimize exhaustion and keep up your energy levels up.
Finally: Only take what is absolutely necessary. It is extremely easy to get carried away with bringing too many things. See travel tips for packing luggage to help you pack efficiently.
