Packing Tip: Grab a Jacket

When packing your bag for your next outing, don't forget to throw in a light jacket, even if you are going somewhere tropical. Especially if you are going somewhere tropical.

One common oversight, especially when going somewhere warm, is to neglect any sort of a long-sleeved layer. Even if the forecast looks great and the weather is sweltering when the sun is up, there might be a breeze when you take your dog out for his morning walk or a nip in the air on your evening ferry boat ride to the next island over.

A light piece like a soft shell or windbreaker should be sufficient to fend off a mid-afternoon shower or the nip in the air that creeps in after sunset, and you'll definitely appreciate having made space in your bag!
