We bring an apple cider vinegar tonic from a local farm here in Union, Maine. Our favorite is infused with elderberries, ginger root, and cinnamon for immune support. Check out the Elderberry Tonic from Herbal Revolution and other flavors here on Amazon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/691092b54ded47096bb6db7e/b9415fc7-794b-497c-8a84-32c145ddd0c6/power.JPG Blog - Caribbean Packing List: Travel Essentials We Learned the Hard Way Taking lots of photos and videos while on tour drains phone batteries fast. Your phone is your lifeline—boarding passes, directions, confirmations. Once, in NYC with my 10-year-old, I received a flight cancellation text—and then my phone died. Never again. I don’t travel without a portable charger.

The night before traveling home, I love that I can power up all of my electronics at once because there are plenty of plugs and USB outlets in my charging station. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/691092b54ded47096bb6db7e/c3b3de24-273d-4865-8649-8afe5bcd45ca/sea.jpg Blog - Caribbean Packing List: Travel Essentials We Learned the Hard Way I’ve found that once my hands get cold underwater they become less sensitive for taking photos. The solution—just press video record above water before you dive in. I’ve used these Seawag cases for most of my underwater videos. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/691092b54ded47096bb6db7e/ba1710bb-04b9-417b-9112-e0bc2c5c861d/IMG_9133.jpg Blog - Caribbean Packing List: Travel Essentials We Learned the Hard Way People often wonder how we travel when we have alpacas at home. Well, they are easier than dogs, only take about a half hour a day for care, and are in good hands with our farm sitter (thanks Drew!). A camera in the barn makes travel easier knowing everything is okay back home. I have an outdoor Ring camera so I can check on them whenever I miss their fuzzy faces. We use Ring cameras to check on our alpacas, cats, and front door while we’re away. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/691092b54ded47096bb6db7e/48c987e3-5ae1-4718-ba19-e56f762aef23/IMG_4141.jpg Blog - Caribbean Packing List: Travel Essentials We Learned the Hard Way My dry bag purse has been a life saver on catamaran trips when we needed to swim to shore. It’s larger than the underwater phone case, so you can bring along essential items such as keys, cash, and sun block! I also used it when we visited public beaches and did not feel safe leaving all of my valuables on shore when my whole family was in the water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/691092b54ded47096bb6db7e/02d0e8f9-7e17-45fa-8711-02b4e4189bf8/IMG_9836.JPG Blog - Caribbean Packing List: Travel Essentials We Learned the Hard Way Our favorite space-saving float rolls up small and fits easily in a suitcase. It sits low in the water so it’s great for relaxing and snorkeling. This 4-in-1 Hammock float we purchased from Amazon rolls up to the size of a paper towel roll and is perfect for the pool or calm Caribbean sea. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/691092b54ded47096bb6db7e/6f8b6ac6-3dea-4507-8945-d62d77718f45/PB220210.JPG Blog -
