My oh My!!!! How many pieces of luggage do you take? Many of your checklist items are important, but you could really scaled down what you bring. I have been traveling to Aruba for at least 12 years (twice a year) and for at least the past 5 years I have traveled with 2 carry-ons. Your hotel has a blow dryer, the cosmetics can be minimized to shampoo, conditioner, gel and hair spray (and if you need any over the counter medications, they are available in your hotel gift shop and the pharmacies. Who needs make-up once you get a base tan (a little lip gloss and mascara is sufficient.) All that food you went shopping for (why go on vacation?) Sure, I buy staples at the local grocery store (fruit, cheese, wine and maybe a few other snacks,) but you just bought out the grocery store! Try to remember that you are on VACATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just reading your list made me exhausted thinking about my upcoming vacation so, I tore up your list!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am going to relax!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
