I love the guide!
We just returned and I wanted to add a couple of things to the list, especially for those going in the summer months who may not be ready for the heat/humidity.
These items were used by everyone-young and old on this trip.
I grew up on the Gulf Coast(before AC) so I have a few tricks up my sleeve.
Gold Bond Medicated Powder-I only brought a travel size but I am bringing a regular size for the Owner's Locker. The travel size was in the bag taken to the park. It cools, and doesn't turn into a sticky paste like other powders do in this climate.
I even used the Gold Bond Baby Powder for DD when she was little.
Everyone will be much more comfortable. Trust Me! this stuff has been around forever and for good reason, it works! (no this is not a paid endorsement! )
Another Great Product I am adding to the OL
Band-Aid Blister Block stick. This is like that stuff used by athletes that prevents friction. I used it on DD when a buckle was giving her pain and I got a "hot spot" after our shoes got soaked in a sudden shower. SIL used it when an underwire was giving her grief.
Warning though-it gets mushy in the heat but firms back in the AC. I bought mine at the pharmacy in the Grocery and I think they sell it at sports stores too.
This isnt' a product but just a bit of advice for you ladies traveling down here for the summer.
Go Native- Do yourself a favor pack at least one pretty, floaty cotton summer dress- (tea length=no stockings) for the evenings. We wore Croc Capri sandals with the dresses to give our feet a break.
We did our hardcore "touring" in the mornings but after the afternoon break(and rain storms) we went back to the parks for dinner, fireworks and a ride or two. There aren't many rides you can't ride in a dress at mid-calf length. You will be comfortable, cool and enjoy those rain-cooled evenings even more.
I hope these help and that everyone has a great trip!ixiedust:
