Wenzel Family Travelling Tips

Oh Mexico, there is so much to say!  The first thing is THANK YOU to Ben’s parents for such a wonderful wedding gift! It was so much fun.  I’m going to post all about the trip under the Our Travels tab and in this post I will focus mainly on some “out of the country, all-inclusive resort, beach travel tips”.  We were able to buy anything that we needed more of or make do with what we brought, but here are a few things that we made note of for our next vacation.

Wenzel Family Travelling Tips:

-bring more sunscreen (we prefer the liquid, non-spray type and bring 2-3 bottles depending on skin type)
-bring aloe vera
-bring bug spray and itch cream
-bring dollar bills for tipping (plan for at least $1.00 for every meal and more for maids and bus drivers)
-bring more money than you think you will spend because the ATM’s are expensive ($15.00 to pull out $80.00 at our resort, ouch)
-bring extra batteries or chargers for electronics (I used quite a few batteries for my camera)
-plan one tour/trip and the rest spend at your resort or do small things around the resort i.e. snorkeling, kayak tours, etc
-don’t forget tennis shoes for trips that may include a lot of walking
-don’t forget sunglasses or some sort of hat (Who forgets sunglasses? Us! Because we never wear them!)
-bring DVDs if you want something quiet to do at night and bring magazines or books for the beach

I’m sure you are all thinking that these are obvious things, but they weren’t for us.  We obviously need to travel more so that we can be more experienced, good excuse to go again, right?  Now for the long post that probably only our parents have been waiting for….head to the Our Travels tab for more insight on our vacation!
