Packing for a trip can be a little difficult, especially for longer trips. There are some things that you obviously need to have, such as your ID, money, underwear, etc. But there are other things that are must have items for every beach vacation. Here are the items I must have that have a big impact on my trip.
Providenciales, Turks and Caicos is a beautiful island. It has some of the best beaches i’ve ever visited, and the people are super friendly! One thing I did notice on my first (of many) trips though, is that it is not immediately obvious where to go to experience local culture and food. Grace Bay is ranked one of the best beaches in the world, and has many luxury hotels and condominiums on its beachfront, but they are generally European style. Check out some of these places to get a little local flavor.
Earlier this month, my new husband and I decided to take a short celebratory getaway to Saint Maarten. I chose Saint Maarten because my husband had never been to the Caribbean before (most of his travels have been to Europe or Asia), and I wanted a Caribbean destination that I had not visited before. Saint Maarten turned out to be a lovely trip for the both of us.
For a long time in my twenties, I’d been longing to go to Martinique. I don’t remember how I even came across it as a travel option in the first place, but it always looked like such an interesting place that I knew I wanted to visit. Unfortunately, since Martinique apparently was not big on American tourism at the time, the flight and hotel costs made travel to Martinique a little too much of a stretch for my budget.
