Beach ready

The last time I took a proper beach trip was a while ago–possibly two Christmas seasons ago— and my suitcase was filled up with summer snazzies for an extended weekend give or take 2 days. I am heading to the Bahamas where the sand is pink, the sky is blue, the water is turquoise. Here is what I have learned. The key to packing for the beach is simple is to keep it light. Basically it goes like this: you wake up, go to the beach, stay at the beach till 5pm, shower and go out to dinner in a beachy town. Nobody gets dressed up for anything. Not much thought should go into it. It’s important to focus on the accessories, a few bottles of sunscreen, some Bahama mama lively spirit, a whole lot of bubby, and keep the rest pared down and simple. The last time I checked the weather over there, it was 80 degrees, so there is no reason to overpack especially when the TSA is bound to deem my suitcase too heavy before boarding. This got me thinking of what I was going to pack, so here is a suggested post on what I am bringing on my trip.
