How to pack for a trip to Mexico

I am going to write an article about how to plan a trip to Mexico.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Swim suits
• Walking shoes
• One pair of slacks
• One dress shirt
• Sunscreen
• Pesos to buy a hat or anything that you forgot
• Passport

1.

   First find a suitcase that would properly hold a weeks worth of vacation material. The zippers need to be strong and be able to hold the maximum amount of clothes below the maximum weight limit for the airlines that you wish to travel.

2. 
    

   Second find any additional suitcases that you can take for free. (Carry on or maximum checked baggage) This will be helpful for brinking trinkets and clothes home.

3.

   Third find places inside of your suitcase that everything will fit. If you have extra space make sure that you fill it up with old professional sports hats or any name brand clothes that you were looking to donate. (You can use this to either trade for fun activities or items at the flea market.) Worst case you can just give it to someone there that truly would apreciate the clothes.

4. 
    

   Remember to bring money for bottled water when you get there. I used to pack this but it is difficult with new regulations on the airlines.

5. 
    

   You may want to bring some things to give or trade with the locals. They seem to really apreciate American made toys and clothes.

6. 
    
   After the vacation if you packed right you can enjoy the nice tan.

   Make sure that you find a good friend, spouse, relative to go with you. Make sure that you go with someone that would have a fun safe time. If you are young make sure that you talk one or both of your parents into going with you. Pack them. Don't forget to bring your passport with you.

Tips & Warnings

• If you can, bring a suitcase that is either well marked or of an unusual print. For example I like to travel with my wifes suitcase that is great and has Hawaiian print.
• Make sure that you bring sufficient pesos to enjoy the flea markets but make sure that you don't bring more than you would be willing to give away if you were robbed.
