Chicken butt.
Oh, and also, tonight I am headed for the Bahamas!
Well, technically I'm headed for Toronto, and then tomorrow morning I'm headed for the Bahamas. YAY.
I've never been on a hot holiday. Help me?
I've got sunscreen, a hat, and a bathing suit. So...what else?
Re: Guess what?
Lots of lube. You wouldn't want to have to use the sunscreen as lube in a pinch.
Have fun!
I LOVED the Bahamas, so jealous.
Not sure what to add to your list, maybe sundresses, rompers (only because you can pull it off), sunglasses, cover ups, more sunscreen because you will go through a lot. Have fun!

Ha! Badger. We don't generally use lube.. is there a reason why we would need it there? I'm not gonna lie, I am planning to do a lot of the sex. Like, a lot.
Thanks Hezz! I'm so pumped, we have not gone on a vacation since our honeymoon 3 and a half years ago, so man, we are due.
Kamikaze, my ROMPER! I totally have not packed that yet...I think I will...
When you were there, what did you do? Any recommendations on where to go, what to skip? Best shopping? We're staying in a vacation rental in Nassau.
I'm going at lunch to buy the Hunger Games series to finally read them while on my trip. YAY
Have fun Jens!
Hezz, don't be jealous, on Sunday you'll be sitting outside in 30 degree weather! on the 47 yard line, 14 rows up (or something like that).
Coley, where do you live? I won't be waving to anyone as I sail away, cuz I ain't getting on no boats man.
Did you guys know I hate the ocean and I'm scared of it?
Okay well then I partially forgive you. I assumed you were going on a cruise. I live about an hour north of Miami in West Palm Beach. Are you guys flying into Miami?

Jens, I am so jealous of you right now. I wish someone would take me on a tropical vacation.
You definitely need rompers. Lots of rompers. And a nice dress so you can insist Heith take you out someplace fancy. And you need a sequined fanny pack, socks, and sandals.

I can't imagine that the Bahamas alone would warrant a need for lube, by vaginal dryness is an epidemic. Or so I hear.
We went snokeling and that was really fun. The Straw Market is very touristy but they are pushy so you will need to be stern if you do not need a head bobbling wood turtle on a leash or a rip off designer bag. Past the straw market there are some real stores and normal restaurants though so that was fun. The Atlantis casino and shopping area is fun too. You have to pay for a bracelet to use the water park and aquarium there but the shopping and casino is free.
Other than that, just enjoy the water and laying in the sand. I need that right now so bad.
I feel like the extra humidity would facilitate lube-free situations nicely. I thought maybe you'd be like "We needed lube on account of all the sexing in the sand." and then I'd have to tell you that I am not down for that.
Alright, I've got flip flops, a dress, lots of athletic wear like light t-shirts and running shorts, because I'm probably going to want to be slumming it most of the time and be comfortable.
A pair of jeans, a long sleeved layering shirt, yoga pants and a hoodie. If you're in the sun all day, when the sun goes down, it still might be chilly. Especially if you get a sunburn. Bring aloe, any kind of defrizzing hair product you might need (there is really no humidity this time of year but you still might need it).
Edited: I just re-read and I sound so anti-beachy fun vacation in my list. Sorry
These are things I always forget to pack for beach vacations and the things I find myself needing.

I've got 3 different fanny packs - I'm set!
Coley, we are flying direct from Toronto to Nassau.
DAMMIT. me and my bigot kids could have harrassed you at the airport. I'm teaching them Provincial bigotry. they would have yelled things like "Hey, you wheat planting flatlander!" or "Hey You! Moosejaw! I'm talking to you!"
Ha, I would have liked that.We would have just chewed on our beef jerky and been like "You think yer better'n us in yer high falut'n big city? Git m gun, cousin!"
We arrived at midnight, and were boarding again by 7:30am though, so you wouldn't have had a very big time frame to get the harassment in. If we are ever in the city for more than 7 hours, I'd like to meet you bigot easterners sometime.
We are here now, it's drizzly today so that stinks. It might be gray again tomorrow, but it's supposed to be nice after that.
