6 Must Dos When Vacationing in Warmer Climates
My travels this past year to Mexico and the Caribbean have had one thing in common – HEAT – and many travelers are not prepared. Want to make your vacation more enjoyable? Follow these simple “Must Dos”.
1. Research your destination. Will the weather be extreme during your visit? Is there an extreme difference in temperature from day to night (Cabo…I’m looking at you)? Check the weather forecast a few days before your trip is to begin which will help you know if you’ve packed appropriately.
2. Hydration. An easy way to ensure you stay hydrated is to pack a reusable water bottle. Many locations now have water bottle refill stations so you can take advantage of “free” water and help reduce waste too.
3. Cooling towels. There are so many on the market in all shapes, sizes and colors. Easy to pack, carry and use, these can be life savers for a quick cool down.
4. Cool mist fans. While these can sometimes be bulky there are several mini styles available as well. They are a great way to cool off with mist and a cool breeze.
5. Wide brimmed hat. From the big straw variety to a simple fishing style, a hat will be your best friend in warm climates to keep the sun from your face and provide much needed shade.
6. Cool, cotton, layered clothing. Can I say “stay as naked as possible without offending people” might be the mantra for your trip to a warmer climate, especially if there’s higher than normal humidity involved?! 😉
From theme park vacations, hiking a trail or cruising on the high seas, traveling in the heat doesn’t need to be miserable. Staying hydrated and taking along a few simple items can make your journey much more enjoyable. Is there a warm weather destination on your bucket list? Comment below and let us know!
