Things to Consider
· Please remember to always pack essential items (passport, money, eyewear, hiking boots, a pair of shorts/shirt/fleece top/sandals and medications) in your carry-on baggage in case your luggage is delayed.
· Cotton is good in warm weather, but, once it becomes wet, it will drain your body heat.
· Bring clothing that is light in weight and color, which ventilates and protects you from the sun.
· If you want to keep your camera close to you while on the water, we recommend a water-resistant camera or case and a safety cord.
· Plastic bags are the key to keeping clothing and gear dry. Use trash bags or large sized Ziploc bags to keep wet and/or dirty clothes separate from dry clothes.
· If you wear prescription glasses, please use a safety cord and bring an extra pair, if possible. Contact lens wearers should also bring an extra set, or bring eyeglasses for a backup.
· Space for luggage is limited. Please pack lightly and fit all clothing into small to medium sized bags. During the day, you will carry a small daypack. |
