subject: How To Pack For A Trip From Miami To Key West [print this page] It has become a joke when it comes to how women pack for trips. They pack too much. They pack too little. Whatever they pack it is never right for the occasion. So how do you know what to pack for a trip? Heres a little help for your packing needs on a vacation where you are traveling from Miami to Key West.
So what do you pack when you are heading to Key West? Well, it depends on what you plan on doing down there. Well start at the destination many start off with, Miami, and work our way down US-1 to the Keys. In Miami you will need one or two pairs of shorts, two tank tops, and two t-shirts. Bring a sweatshirt just in case, because it gets slightly cold at night, especially in hotels with air conditioning. You will need a pair of sunglasses, and definitely a bathing suit.
These things will get you through the days in Miami, and can double for items necessary in Key West, as well. For the nights, you will need pajamas and some miniature shower items: soap, shampoo, face wash. They will most likely have towels and hair dryers at the hotel. They will also have entertainment, so you do not need to pack eight million magazines and the like.
For the journey down from Miami to Key West, you will need music (perhaps on an Ipod or MP3 player) or some form of small entertainment. You can wear one of your day clothes you had previously packed. You do not need that many clothing options when travelling. You can wear comfortable sneakers or flip flops for this journey.
When you get to Key West, you will need shorts, either a tank top or a t-shirt, a sweatshirt and your pajamas. I also recommend packing water shoes for walking due to coral in the area. You can also use sneakers and flip flops while perusing the shops on the island. Again, you do not need tons of shoes. If you want to take part in the nightlife on Key West and prefer to get all fancy for it though, bring one or two dressy outfits and one pair of shoes that goes with both outfits.
The last bit you need you can get anywhere on your trip, but it will be cheaper for you to get before hand, or they are just little reminders. You will need sunscreen, a phone charger, laptop and laptop charger if you are going there for a business trip or plan to work while down there, a little bit of make-up (if you wear it), and other essentials for those that travel and have glasses and contacts and all that fun stuff. You will not need food (theres plenty of it down there), books, board games, all of your jewelry, all of your make-up, stuffed animals, nail polish, or tons of hair products.
You are traveling from Miami to Key West, you are most likely visiting beaches and small shops. Everyone is on vacation with their hair wind tossed and thrown up quickly. Everyone is just taking the day one step at a time. Dont waste your time packing every outfit in your wardrobe and dont ruin your time by only packing one outfit and making due. Pack what you need to be comfortable and find the rest as it comes to you. As long as you have a list made a week beforehand, you can make sure you have the essentials and have a great time.
