Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
Step1
Pack light, casual, comfortable clothes. Shorts, T-shirts, skirts, sundresses and a swimsuit are must-haves. Cotton and linen will keep you cool in the very humid spring and summer months.
Step2
Remember the beach necessities: wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, sunblock and a swimsuit cover-up. The latter is important, as swimsuits are acceptable only at the beach or by the pool.
Step3
Bring sandals, flip-flops and a pair of walking shoes for taking in the sites.
Step4
Take simple evening attire. Women will impress in a nice cotton dress, while men may opt for long shorts and a button-down short-sleeved shirt.
Step5
Pack a few sweaters for layering, especially in the fall and winter. An umbrella is also good in fall and winter, as brief showers are likely.
Step6
Bring insect repellent.
Step7
Take an electric converter and adapter.
