Tips On What To Pack For Your Island Getaway
Spokesperson for buildyouraquarium.com Stefan Gheorghe reveals the essentials for a successful island escape:
“Firstly, it is important to remember that many exotic islands, such as the Bahamas, will have extremely warm temperatures therefore you will be better with thin, lightweight clothing that still offers some protection from the sun. As you will likely be traveling on a ferry to said island, I recommend a water- resistant bag so any items, particularly electrical will not be damaged by water.
Footwear is very important for all the exploration you will be doing. Therefore you should bring casual slip ons or sneakers that are worn in and won’t cause blisters. I would also suggest bringing plenty of SPF lip balm and sunscreen, as well as insect repellent and reusable plastic storage bags that are useful for storing wet swimwear.
On the practical front, you don’t want to be caught short by not having an adaptor so you are able to charge the appliances you bring. Otherwise you may struggle to research things to do and also in case of emergencies a working phone is essential! On that note a back-up phone charger or portable charger is something to be remembered.”
