Last minute packing often leads to travellers dumping everything into their suitcases and exceeding their baggage limit. Therefore, pack well in advance. Make a list of items that are mandatory and pack them first- sunscreen, any medications you are on, toiletries, guidebooks, beachwear, slippers, an empty bottle to fill with water, some oral rehydration sachets, a beach sarong and a shawl. Remember that while the resort islands have no restriction on dress codes (though no nudity is allowed), the local villages do- please be respectful of the law and wear modest clothing while visiting them.
