Tropical Vacay Packing Guide

If you’re anything like me over packing is your M.O. Over the past few years I’ve traveled heavily for work, and carrying on my luggage is the only option.

Our honeymoon was just 3 weeks ago, and this was the first tropical vacation we’ve been on in a few years. I realized I had NO idea what to pack. I tried to only pack what I needed, so my bag was under 50 pounds for the ten days we were away (yes we checked our bags for this trip).

I finally figured out the key to packing well for a tropical vacation and wanted to share with you!
