I’m off on a four-day assignment to Secrets Maroma Beach on Mexico’s Riviera Maya tomorrow morning, so tonight I’ll be hauling my trusty red Kipling rollaboard out from under the bed. For the last two years I’ve been traveling for work about once a month, so by now I've got the whole packing thing down to a science.My carry-on essentials for a quick Caribbean trip? A swimsuit; shorts; a sarong that I use as a beach coverup, a blanket for the plane and a wrap for frigidly air-conditioned restaurants; a couple of no-ironing-required knit dresses (including a new maxi for those same fancy but frigidly air-conditioned restaurants); flip-flops for day and strappy wedge sandals for evening. I’ll also pack my workout gear so that I can take advantage of the hotel gym (after all those sumptuous hosted dinners, a girl’s gotta work up a sweat at least once); and because it’s a work trip, my BlackBerry and MacBook, my Moleskine hardcover notebook and a stack of business cards.
Summer’s upon us and I know that lots of you will be taking to the skies and touching down on Caribbean shores. What are the must-haves on your packing list?
