As we prepare for an upcoming tropical trip, I started putting together a packing list – again. Then I thought it might be nice to have a sort of standard list that I could just print off each time and add to depending on the destination. The following is just that – a basic tropical vacation packing list. Just the general stuff here – you’ll need to add your own jammies and undies (if needed!), but this should cover some of the basics.
Are we missing anything vital? Let us know!

Printing now and filing for our wonderful upcoming vacation!
Awesome Laurie!!
We always pack bubble wrap and neoprene wine holders on every trip. We like to pick up bottles of hot sauce on each island and this ensures they won’t break.
Oh – I like that idea! Thx!
“We” always bring candles – romantic ones and citronella – tea lights. Pack them in a coozie and you are good to go. And by “we” of course I do all the packing!! But that’s probably a whole nother blog subject! Oh and wine opener and bottle opener of course!
Nice…thx!
