Hi guys!
I recently came back from a trip to the Caribbean, and today, I will
be sharing with you some tips and tricks
for a beach vacation that I learned while I was there!
First, let’s make sure our beach time is comfortable, so…
1. Bring mosquito spray.
I was in the Caribbean at the end of June and very start of July,
and I got a lot of mosquito bites, in the strangest of places! I recommend
using lots of spray, on your legs, arms, and natural spray on your face. I also
recommend using a mosquito zapper that looks like a tennis racquet, like this
one:
2. Bring sunscreen and use it!
It is sunny in the Caribbean, and man is it hot! If you want to
avoid getting sunburn and getting too hot, try these tips:
- Put sunscreen everywhere: on your legs,
your arms, your face, your back, you know, all of those places!
- Wear a rash guard as much as possible!
- Bring umbrellas to the beach, and if you
don't have one, sit in the shade.
- Drink lots of water. An insulated water
bottle such as The Swell allows
your water to stay cold for hours!
- SWIM!!! This tip may seem
strange, but if you stay in the water, you will stay cool, even if the water is
warm.
3. Bring a misting bottle with a fan.
You can find one of these fans at your local pharmacy, Target, or Walgreens
in the Summer section/isle. These little bottles allow you to stay cool, plus,
they are pretty portable. I have the Discovery Kids Battery Operated Misting
Fan, and I am pretty satisfied with it. (Tip: do not submerge the fan and/or
part with batteries in the water, it starts to malfunction. Don’t ask me how I
know ))
So, those are some of my tips and tricks for a beach vacation! You
will be seeing more tips and tricks for a beach vacation throughout more of my
travel posts. By the way, speaking of travel posts, when I make posts like
this, I will be calling them the Traveling Child posts!
Peace out and have a Hootsome summer (or fall, or winter, or… you get
it)!
