How To Pack for a Spring Break Trip Cary NC

Ahhh, Spring Break. You've busted your you-know-what all year and who better to enjoy a little well deserved fun in the sun or on the slopes than you? Before you hit the beach or the mountain, though, be sure you're prepared--you don't want to waste a single moment of the week waiting in line at the drug store because you forgot something important.

1. Think about your destination first. Sure, there are some items you'll need whether you're going to be digging in the sand or the snow, but every spring break destination has its own special needs.
   
   If you're going on a ski trip, make sure you have all your equipment and that it's in good working order. Next, think warm and think layers. Long underwear (the pros say synthetics are better than cotton), ski socks, turtlenecks, a couple of sweaters, gloves, hat, goggles, parka and ski pants. And, just because your destination isn't tropical, don't forget lip balm and some sun protection for your face.
   
   For the beach, don't forget a few swimsuits, towels (the resort ones are always small and rough), swim goggles, flip flops and a little something to throw over your suit when you come in for lunch or a drink. And sunscreen. When you're partying in paradise, it's easy to forget how long you've been in the sun, and you don't want a painful burn to ruin your trip.
   
   
2. Less is more. Try to pack basic wardrobe pieces that all work together. If you start planning outfits with shoes and accessories, you're going to need a U-Haul just to get to the airport. Think jeans and/or shorts, white shirts go with everything (especially a tan), at least one pair of shoes you know you can wear all day or all night. If you'll have access to laundry facilities, so much the better. Pack two sets of underwear per day plus one extra (it's small, and this is one area where you don't want to get caught short.) Something to sleep in (this ISa G-rated site, after all) and one dressy outfit, just in case. Leave the good jewelry home.
