Vacation packing tips

Thursday

Vacation packing can be a bit daunting. Packing for your vacation is such a drag :you just want to be whisked away direct to your destination: no packing involved! Unfortunately this happy state of affairs hasn’t happened to me yet so here are my top 5 vacation packing tips.

Vacation Packing Tip#1; If you “might” need it don’t take it.
If you are taking something “just in case” or because you “might need it” - leave the item at home. I have traveled for years and I have never, every used anything that a carried “just in case”.

Vacation Packing Tip#2 Put all your Must Have Items on the Bed
Have a good long look at them. Then select the half that is most important to pack :put the rest back in the cupboard: you may have the right amount of stuff. If you have problems with this approach put all your “essentials” in a bag and go for a 30 minute walk: see the point now?

Vacation Packing Tip#3 Don’t take specialist clothing
Don’t take any item of clothing that won’t do duel use. If you need a sleep shirt take something that you can sleep in and either use as a beach cover up or as a silky evening top. I have had tankini’s with tops that doubled as a an evening top (bra included too nice!).

Vacation Packing Tip#4 Don’t take Denim
Denim is never the answer. Its bulky, its hard to clean, it takes forever to dry and it has a certain reputation which will still get you turned away from clubs if you are wearing denim. Leave it at home

Vacation Packing Tip#5 Don’t take the Medicine Cabinet
Take a bare minimum of drugs with you. You can buy almost anything you need at almost any location: there is no point being kitted out with 6 months supply of cold remedies if you are off for 10 days at the beach: and don’t have a cold Take any prescribed medicines you need but also take their name and their generic equivalent; you may well find what requires a prescription at home you can get over the counter for a fraction of the cost in many countries.

Cuba Scuba Diving

When many people think about Cuba Holiday, Cuba is not one of the places that comes to mind at first. Cuba is an island that is located about 90 miles southwest of Florida and the Scuba diving is a wonderful experience. Cuba is a beautiful island paradise that is surrounded by many beautiful sandy beaches and the surrounding deep oceans. It is considered to be a scuba divers paradise. BUT i don’t think you could discover Cuba by yourself, you could always search for a Cuba Tour and you will have the opportunity to explore the best places from Cuba with a great guide.
Divers of all levels love the beauty of scuba diving in Cuba. They can see an array of tropical fish in the deep blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico.

There are many places to scuba dive in Cuba. Cuba offers 31 different diving centers in 18 different zones around the country. Each area is full dive sites that are free from pollution and any form of coral destruction. Divers enjoy viewing hundreds of types of fish, corals, and sponges in some of the best preserved reefs in the world. If you want to stay at a Cuba Hotel you will surely love them because you can still find luxury hotels or old hotels with antique furniture.

One of the most famous hotels in Havana, the Nacional has graced the city’s skyline since the 1930s. Located within spacious grounds on the seafront, the Havana hotel’s rooms offer stunning views across the sea, and over the cityscape. The ambiance isn’t quite matched by stays in the hotel itself though, explaining why it’s one star short of 5 - the rooms are functional, but not luxurious, the service is sometimes patchy and the food is often disappointingly average. If you can afford it, the Executive Floor is better served - otherwise, the gardens, pool and history more than make up for the slightly disappointing feel of a stay at this Havana hotel.

One&Only Reethi Rah Resort, Maldives
The Maldive Islands are a stunning destination which is perfect for relaxation because of the fact that the beautiful beaches offer plenty of activity on the water. However, you don’t have to leave the luxury of your resort to have a terrific water experience since this place has an amazing infinity pool that can caress your body into relaxation. The massive pool is shaded by tropical trees and leads right out into the ocean so you can go adventuring or just lounge around and relax. A poolside bar adds to the fun.

Intercontinental Hotel, Hong Kong

The ideal way to enjoy the pool at this hotel is to book yourself a stay in The Presidential Suite which is 7,000 square feet in size and includes a 2,500 square foot terrace where the private pool is located. However, there are multiple pools to choose from at this hotel and all of them are amazing. There’s a basic-but-beautiful outdoor pool inspired by the art of feng shui but what most people want to check out is the trio of infinity pools that are each heated to different temperatures to suit different people at different times.
