With your upcoming trip you may be quite excited…and in all that excitement you may forget what you need to pack! Yes, this is a common problem that occurs with many an excited traveler. With all the thoughts of beautiful beaches, lush jungles and awesome mountains to climb, you may be going into vacation sensory overload.

Yes, you have surfing and rock climbing and many insects and birds and flowers to take pictures to remember. How are you going to pack everything into that one suitcase and carry on of yours?

Well, have no fear. We are here to help you with all of your packing needs. First off, consider the things you want to do when you get here. If you are planning on a surfing excursion, and that’s all you want to do, then shipping your own board sounds like a plan. However, if you are going to do that as well as go rock climbing, maybe it’s better to rent a board here for the few days you’ll be on the beach. That way you won’t have to worry about anything as you go on to rock climb and other sorts of excursions.

And when it comes to your clothes, make sure you pack shirts that are easy to wash and dry and can be reused in multiple types of activities.
