Great video! I found your tips on packing for a trip really helpful. Having extra shoes for pool or beach activities is a smart idea, and those sunglasses you got from Amazon are super cute. The solar charger seems like a must-have for emergencies, and I totally agree about bringing reef-safe sunscreen. And those proctored at-home COVID-19 tests are definitely more convenient than getting tested on-site. Thanks for sharing these packing essentials!

I was amazed at the zipper scrunchies. I told myself I need to buy some, but I was thinking about the regular one. You know the scrunchies you find at the bottom of the pool, lol. Well, anyways next level thinking…….thank you for the great tips for my summer vacation!!!!

I was also amazed at the zupper scrunchies!! I have two now, different colors. They are so great for carrying money for tips in the pool. Every time I take money out of it for a tip, the people around me think it's genius! You're very welcome and I hope you have a great summer trip!

Water shoes for sharp coral on the beach! Also reef safe insect repellent (it's a jungle) :)
@Amyfillinger4 ай бұрын
Yes to the clean insect repellent! Not an issue in the hotel zone but you’ll need it in Playa del Carmen, Puero Morelos, etc! Also good tip for the water shoes. Just make sure to not step on coral IN the water because you’ll damage it! I never wear them on the beach but it would be smart! I wear Teva sandals.

Hello. Thank you for this information. We are leaving for Mexico soon, and it is very helpful. I’m curious about how much/often/who it is appropriate to tip at the resorts. Thanks so much again.
@Amyfillinger2 жыл бұрын
You’re welcome! I’d say standard is $1-2 for drinks, $5 for breakfast and $10-20 for dinner. We like to tip on the higher side especially for great service and they very much appreciate when you do! Don’t forget housekeeping, etc! You can tip once a week or daily. A few dollars is good and USD is preferred.

Depending on the resort, yes! Of course you don’t just leave it all day, that would be rude. Only take one if you intend to use it. Some have policies to remove items after an hour or two but that typically happens later in the day.

CDC is also no longer requiring masks on planes.
