What To Pack for• Swimsuit • Sun protection you can wear like comfortable hats, sun shirts, visors, and full-body suits for the kids.
Hawaii is closer to the equator than anywhere else in the continental U.S. and the sun is more intense here. Plus, you'll be out in the sun so much more. Even a small sunburn is uncomfortable and will put a crimp in your vacation.
• sunglasses • sun block at least SPF 30. I put 50 on my son until he was 3. • light sleeping wear • if you will be staying at elevation or visiting the top of any of the mountains bring a sweater or
sweatshirt. It does get cool, especially in the evenings, above 2500 feet elevation. • Tupperware or zip locks - for bringing small snacks to the beach and on the road with you • travel mugs - for taking your coffee on the road with you • fingernail clippers • earplugs • beach towels (only fancy, contained hotels will provide them) - consider buying these in Hawaii for an
instant souvenir • snorkel and mask and fins if you own, otherwise buy, borrow, or rent them here • camera and film (if you still use it)
