Packing for Belize.

Packing for Belize

Packing for Belize

At the end of the month, I’m off to Belize with my family. I will share where we are staying and all the details of our trip when I get back, but in the meantime, a little peek into what I’m packing (and what I wish I was packing!). My parents and I are essentially crashing my younger sister’s vacation with her husband and their two boys. They are glad we are coming but it does make me laugh. She told us about the trip and my parents and I were just like “Ooh! Can we come!?” We were half joking, half serious, but when she replied with a resounding YES, we booked our flights. I’m really looking forward to some sunshine, drinks on the beach, reading as many books as possible, and most importantly: nephew time!

This is going to be a very casual trip. I’m not packing much makeup (though this coral liplight made the cut!), my jewelry and fancy bags will stay home. I’m packing several swimsuits (and waiting to be teased by my sister and dad.. YES, I absolutely need four swimsuits for a week long vacation) including my favorite black one piece, the best cut-offs, gauzy tops like this one, classic Birkenstocks, lots of easy dresses, and this pretty little bag.

    Do you have the Free People tunic? Wondering about sizing.

      I do not, but if I were going to order I would size down. They tend to run big!

    My husband and I loved going to Belize — we’ve been twice and are trying to squeeze in another trip soon! Hope you and your family have the best time.

    What a pleasure seeing this as “news” on my iPad today…….Born Belizean living in Pennsylvania here. I must say that I’m jealous! This is a great time to visit Belize. Enjoy!

    Add a pair of light cotton long pants if you plan on going hiking in the rain forest.

    I love a printed pareo to jazz up my collection of boring black one-piece swimsuits. Have a great trip!
