subject: Planning And Packing For A Trip To Hawaii [print this page] If you're planning on taking a vacation to Hawaii sometime soon, you're probably making a few lists of what to bring, what to buy, and how to pack. Planning a trip to Hawaii might actually be easier than packing for one, especially if you're on a tight budget. Here are a few tips that will help to get you started.
The first thing to remember about Hawaii is the climate. The climate is tropical, warm, and sunny. You'll need sunscreen and sunglasses to act as protection for the UV rays. You also need to pack some sort of chapstick that has an SPF protection, because you can get chapped lips from getting too much sun. Think about bringing a little bit of aloe or sunburn cream in case you do get sunburn. You can also bring a hat or visor to keep the sun out of your face.
The fashion in Hawaii is different than in any other state. People are more concerned with being cool and comfortable than looking like they're going out to dinner in New York City. While you can bring a few pairs of khakis (for guys) or sundresses (for girl) to go out to dinner in, you'll mostly want to bring shirts, shorts, capris, and tank tops to stay comfortable. You might also want to bring a sweater in case the weather gets cold at night, and a waterproof jacket or poncho in case it rains.
Hawaii is a big tourist place. This means that they sell a lot of tourist essentials but at a higher price than you could buy them before you get there. You'll want to buy either disposable cameras or enough batteries to last in your digital camera, because you won't want to pay the high price for them in Hawaii. You can also think about bringing medicines, feminine products, hand sanitizer, and other little things that you might need but won't want to pay an arm and a leg for.
Another great tip to remember is to bring extras of what you can. Bring an extra toothbrush or pair of underwear, so you won't have to buy these things from your hotel. Bring an extra change of clothes in case you get into some mud or spill food on your shirt. Don't forget an extra bathing suit! No one wants to put on a wet bathing suit to tour the state. Just remember that there are only certain things you can take with you in a carry-on bag on the plane.
Don't forget about any travel brochures you might have. Even if you've already read them and decided what you want to do, bring the manual or brochure along with you, because you might change your mind about what you want to do later. You can purchase a number of different vacation manuals from your local bookstore. Some of the manuals even have coupons or teach you how to get special deals once you get to Hawaii.
