And we are off to Hawaii! Chris and I are headed to Maui with our good friends, and I’m so looking forward to lounging around on the beach, hitting the spa, and hopefully spotting some whales. As I’ve been preparing for this trip, I’ve had to get out of the cold mindset and envision warmth, although we’re going during one of the wet months. I’ll take it! We’ll be staying at a nice resort, enjoying their accommodations, eating yummy food, and one of the nights, we’re going to a magic show! Can’t wait. I thought it would be fun to show you what’s in my suitcase, along with some vacation essentials for any future “warmer” trips you might have coming up.
Swimsuits
When it comes to swimsuits, there’s nothing worse than having to re-wear a wet swimsuit! They’re just impossible to put on. I’m bringing some options so I can have about one daily suit.
Cover-ups
A cover-up is the best way to “dress up” a swimsuit. I’ve been obsessed with this summersalt cover-up for over a year, and here are some others I’m loving as well.
Dresses
For vacation, I love tossing on a dress and heading to dinner. It feels so easy, effortless, and comfortable!
Shorts + Sets
I’m very into sets right now, and it’s new, but I love how they look, so I’m embracing it. It’s also good to have some shorts options to wear out and about or over a swimsuit.
Sandals
Sandals are a must on vacation. Enough said.
Sun Hats
I always end up stealing Chris’s hat when we go on trips, so I finally got one for myself. I’m also love the visor look, plus it’s nice that you can lay down with it on.
Sunglasses
You’ve got to have at least one really great pair of sunglasses, and one you wouldn’t mind if it got lost during an excursion.

From sunscreen, books, lip balm, binoculars, here are some essentials you might want to bring on your next trip.

Did you also expect her to include medications, her wedding ring, hairbrush, toothpaste, and feminine products, Kathy?
Do I really need to spell that out on the internet?
Aloha! I follow you from Hawaii. You’ll love that magic show, it’s fantastic! Also, it’s been unseasonably dry here in the islands so you might have good luck with the weather. Enjoy your trip!
