Spring is officially here, and the vacation season is gearing up. Whether traveling by plane, train, or automobile, packing for vacation requires forethought and a great checklist! Any kind of travel generally guarantees moments of: “I wish I would've brought the...” To minimize this sentiment, we've complied some essentials whether heading to the beach or to the mountains.
Going Somewhere Warm?
When heading hot places, adding a few key elements to the essentials' list will assist greatly. In particular, sun-related items such as sunblock, aloe (in case the sunblock isn't applied thoroughly enough), and a chapstick with SPF are key. Brimmed hats will keep the sun off, as well provide opportunity to make a fashion statement.
Easy cover-ups such as light, loose-fitting cotton or linen shirts, shorts, or pants will provide less weight in the suitcase and allow more airflow for the skin in sticky climates. Footwear should allow for maximum comfort and breathability: well-soled and/or decorative flip-flops, water socks, deck shoes for men, and casual canvas shoes can fit a hot, tropical scene.
The best women's robes for warm climates?
Remember that at the hotel or coming off the beach, transitioning between places is easiest in a robe. A lightweight women's silk robe – either long or short according to taste – drapes well, allows for maximum breathability and is appropriate in a variety of settings. Cotton waffle women's robes are another good choice to include when packing for vacation in warm destinations. Cotton is highly breathable and easy to clean.
Want to Be Cool?
If heading into the woods or up to the mountains for a nice retreat, sun protection is still a great idea. Appropriate footwear enters the top of the list if your ideal summer vacation is going to include some sight-seeing travel on foot. Whether bringing a good pair of running shoes or a lightweight pair of hiking boots, make sure that the shoes have been broken in BEFORE you use them for a long hike. Even a great fitting pair of shoes can cause blistering when used for the first time. Be smart: think comfortable, and give your vacation shoes a walk or two around the block before submitting them to a good workout.
Temperature changes quickly in the woods and mountains as well, sometimes as much as 20 to 30 degrees within minutes, so bring layers to take off or add unto your base outfit. Lightweight long-sleeve shirts, tank-tops, and a rain-proof jacket add versatility and protection to the outdoor wardrobe. Bug spray, first-aid ointment, band-aids, and a pocket knife may come in handy. Plenty of water and protein bars or other easy-to-carry snacks will make any day hike better.
The best womens' robes for the mountain getaway?
Cover up at night with a microfiber women's robe. Whether sleeping under the stars or back in the comfort of a cozy bed and breakfast, curling up after a good day's workout in the luxury provided by deliciously soft modal or microfiber women's robes will signal a comforting end to a great day on vacation.
