We're going to St. Lucia for 10 days and after hearing how much $$ everything is there- I don't want to forget anything. Any little things you sugest I bring (of course sunblock is #1- I'm WHITE!!)
Also, what type of clothes should I bring? Should I bring alot of fancy outfits? How nice should my clothes be for nighttime? We're also doing the sunset cruise tour- has anyone done this? What should I wear?
TIA

Re: help me pack for my HM!!
I am going there for my HM too (of course haven't gone yet) but from what I hear is that you should definitely bring a few nice outfits as some of the restaurants require dressy attire, others are more casual. I am bringing a few nice dresses and stuff. Also, we are going on a land and sea tour and for that I am wearing my cargo capri's and sneakers, I'm sure you will be getting a little dirty on those so I wouldn't dress too too nice for that.
I brought nice outfits for the evening but I spent most of the day in a bikini on the beach. For the day time I brought shorts, tops and casual sundresses. I also brought my workout clothes but that is just me. I did not bring any thing too fancy just nice sundresses and skirts, sandals and heels. Most resorts require that you cover up to dine for lunch so I would bring a few cute bathing suit cover ups and a beach bag. I brought all of my toiletries, aloe, band aids, bug spray, sunscreen and a sewing kit (which I actually needed).

Re: help me pack for my HM!!
sunset cruise - do NOT wear a skirt lol. i made that mistake. it can be windy, and you also have to climb in and out of the boat
the 'formal' restaurants... i learned there's def. a difference between New York 'formal' and everywhere else in the world formal. like DH wore a buttondown and khakis and real shoes. other guys wore golf shirts, khaki's and tennis shoes.
you really do not need a lot of fancy outfits. i actually wish i had brought more beachy type dresses, like to throw over my bathing suit. it is VERY hot, so the less material the better! dinners i wore sundresses because of the heat. there's not much in the way of A/C. i brought like 4 pairs of capris and never wore any of them. it was too hot!
HTH!

Re: help me pack for my HM!!
I wore sundresses every night to dinner! Some places I wore flip flops and others I wore nicer sandals! During the day i was in shorts or cover ups and my bathing suits...i brought gym clothes and sneakers (yes I worked out everyday like a psycho)
I had a couple of long sleeve tops and sweats for the room cause I am always cold!

This just really realllly upset me! Lol. I bought this beautiful long, torquise dress from bebe a month ago and I am so excited to wear it. It looks very caribbean lol. I figured I'd save it for a nice night dinner. Now, it'll probably look too dressy. Oh well idc I'm wearing it anyway. I love getting dressed up.

Re: help me pack for my HM!!
Whenever I go to the Caribbean...i bring cute dresses for night...sundresses and maybe one or two little sexy dresses...bring something to cover up for the day...usually during the day im in my bathing suit and a little dress cover up or shorts and a tank...so bring a few casual items too..shorts..tank tops..extra bathing suit.
for the sunset cruise, I would wear a cute, sexy, little dress.
bring a couple of shoes..casual flip flops...sandals to go with whatever you are wearing.
a little travel case of face wash, shampoo (if you prefer your own), toothbrush, RAZOR!) I always forget a razor!!!! Then by the end I have hairy legs hahaah
Sneakers if you're doing any excurisions/ hiking/ etc.
Bug spray if you're doing any hiking or anything in the woods.
extra undies
pads/tampons

Re: help me pack for my HM!!
I brought a lot of summer dresses with me. I also brough a lot of skirts. I wore shorts one or two times on the trip and I felt more hot with them opposed to the skirts and dresses.
As for fancy outfits I woul donly pack maybe one or two at the most...I dont think you will really need really fancy outfits for the resort but maybe just may want to dress up one night

omg don't be upset! there were definitely people that were very dressed up! my point was that there was a huge range of 'dressed' for the dressed up category. I mean there were definitely girls walking around in 4 inch heels too. although that reminds me, I brought 1 pair of heels and never wore them. I only wore flats and regretted not having more dressy pairs of flats!
