Most people headed to the Caribbean arrive at the airport with too much. A second pair of shoes for a dinner they probably won’t attend, a full-size shampoo bottle that ends up confiscated, and three books for a week in the sun when realistically one gets read. Packing smart for tropical travel isn’t about bringing less for its own sake. It’s about understanding what the climate actually demands, what you can pick up locally, and what takes up space without earning its place. Get that right and you move through the islands with freedom instead of friction. https://www.coolestcarib.com/blog/?p=1913
