Trust us, the higher coverage, the better... especially in Mexico!! 

Sun Bum has the BEST smell, does NOT give you that 'burning' sensation, is water-resistant up to 80 minutes, and most importantly, OCEAN & REEF FRIENDLY! Before leaving Mexico (Cancun), we noticed a deeper tan with the higher SPF coverage vs the lower!

Not sure if it's just a me thing, but somehow, something ALWAYS happens to the ONE pair of sunglasses that I bring... and then I end up buying a pair that I don't really like that much... tell me I'm not alone here that this happens too?! Don't let your accessories make your vacation to Mexico (Cancun recently for us), a negative one!

If you DON'T have a waterproof camera on your Mexico trip... we need to have a serious talk! The GoPro 8 is our MAIN camera for everything, even our YouTube videos. Giving you 4K videos, amazing photos, incredible stabilization, & it's super compact! Check out our Cancun videos, and  will understand!

Call me a germaphobe, but the idea of utilizing a snorkel set from the resort or a tour, that multiple other people have used... nah, I'm good! This one can get tight enough for my small head and larger enough for our son's (bigger) head & of course these water fins are the perfect size for your carry-on! 

When you get to Cancun, exploring can be fun, but be sure to take your 'small' essentials with you in a small backpack of some sort! And if you are going ANYWHERE there will be water, take a dry bag or dry-pack backpack instead! There is nothing worse than wanting to take your cell phone, other electronics, & a pair of clothes & try to keep them dry!!

Do  NOT leave home without this! Yes, Cancun will have chapstick, but they may not have SPF specifically. The sun gets hot and since most of the time you will be either in the sun or salty ocean, you will want to keep your lips from getting fried and dried out! Once again Sun Bum SPF 30 is one of our favorites!

We each only brought 4 of these guys on our recent Cancun Mexico trip! Living in Florida, we are out on the ocean & beach as much a possible and because of that, we now incorporate these SPF/UPF Shirts every vacation and beach trip that we go on. Nate & Blake's SPF preference (men's), and my SPF preference (woman's)

I know this sounds like an odd one, but these were the BEST random items that we brought with us. You never know what to expect when you are ready to eat  & drink in a different country! These charcoal pills & these Alka Seltzer EXTRA STRENGTH pills were a MASSIVE lifesaver... especially on the day, I decided to over-indulge in the Tequila. Oh, and throwing in a Pedialite will save your life too!

The charcoal should be taken an hour before eating and the Alka Seltzer pretty much as soon as you start to have a stomach ache.

 I can't tell you how many times this portable solar charger has been a HUGE lifesaver, especially because we are NOT always conveniently sitting next to an electrical outlet. 

'I want to stay inside for an hour to charge my phone, while on vacation in Cancun'... SAID NO ONE EVER! 

And this one is pretty rugged, so if it gets a little wet or dusty because you are out exploring, no big deal! Make sure to give it a good charge via a wall charger before you use it. The solar charge works, but it's a slow charge.
