What to Buy When Going on Vacation to a Beach.

Have you ever been excited to go out of town? I know I have! I work full time and go to school full time, so I barley have any free to go out of town. A couple months ago, I decided I was going to the beach with some friends. But not just a beach, I was going to travel out of the country. It was going to be a fun getaway.

I have never traveled to a beach out of the country. To be honest, I had no clue on what to purchase. Of course I knew I had to buy bathing suits. The essentials that I needed to buy was a lot of sunscreen because my skin is very delicate and I burn easily. I asked a couple of friends that have gone to the same beach to gave me some ideas on what to take. Some things were hats, shorts, loose shirts, a lot of sunscreen, sun glasses, beach towel, waterproof cell phone case, camera etc.

As time went by I kept buying more things like tooth paste, traveling shampoo and conditioner, razors, aloe vera for sun burns etc. I had 3 months to make sure I purchased everything I needed for this vacation. I’ve been on trips where I only had a month in advance notice and it was so frustrating trying to find everything I needed.

While purchasing the essentials I did think about outfits that I needed to wear outside of the hotel; things such as beach dresses, casual clothes, and going out dresses. Did I want to spend more money on buying all new outfits or did I want to wear something that I already had and only wore once? It was a hard decision since I loved the beach dresses I already had and the casual clothes. What I ended up doing was buying two going out dresses and one more casual outfit. It was enough outfits for the whole week I was going to be gone. I was worried I was going to forget to buy something that I needed.

Once I had everything I needed, I knew it was time to look for the adventure part of my trip. I needed to look for the activities we were going to do. Also, look at the places we were visiting and the cost of each activity. After all, that searching I had everything planned out. I was ready to go on my vacation!

Look at the check list on what you need to take when going on vacation.

I couldn’t wait for the adventure! What do you buy when going on vacation, leave me your comment.
