The question &#8220;What do I take with me?&#8221; always arises and I find myself wondering in front of an open closet. After many years of overpacking and ending up taking with me sooo many clothes that I never year I think that the rules are simple:<b>\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>Always travel light. You don&#8217;t want to carry a huge travel bag around. Take less, not more. What&#8217;s the saying? &#8220;You&#8217;ll need to take far fewer clothes and much more money that you think you&#8217;ll need.&#8221; I&#8217;m usually anxious about not having enough clothes, or not enough variety, etc. and I always end up with stuff I never wear.If you travel with friends you can always borrow some stuff.<\/li>\n<li>Swimsuits (if you have more than one pair) and an oversize men&#8217;s white shirt to be worn as a cover-up.<\/li>\n<li>Straw hat (you might find one at a local market).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>Flip-flops, wedge sandals, espandrilles and only if you can&#8217;t avoid it take one pair of high heels. Prefer one with wooden heels and make sure you can balance on them!<\/li>\n<li>Sunglasses and sun block.<\/li>\n<li>Straw beach bag for day, small purse for night.<\/li>\n<li>Long dress for dinners and short jersey day dresses. Prefer organic textiles. Sequindresses are prohibited.\n<div style=\"background-color: white; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;\"><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>\u00a0A scarf to use around neck or as a head wrap or belt.<\/li>\n<li>Some shorts and tops to mix n&#8217; max.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: white; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;\">\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>A pair of pants or jeans.<\/li>\n<li>Some accessories to add color to your outfits.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t forget to pack a light jacket or sweater for cold windy nights.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: white; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: white; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<p>No matter what you do this Summer don&#8217;t forget to pack your smile.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Summer being officially here and the temperature at 37 Celsium degrees the only thing I think about is vacation!
