What’s the tip?

Island Getaway Tips
Be sure to bring ziplock bags or waterproof bags – If you’re lounging by the pool or beach, or even if you’re in the water, you’ll be grateful for these to put your phone and other necessities in
Don’t put your wet swimsuit in a plastic bag – It will mold, fast. Air dry your suit or hang it up until it’s completely dry. Even once it is, wrap it in a towel or old shirt before putting it in a bag to ensure no moisture gets in.
Leave your beach towels at home – Most hotels or resorts offer beach towels to their guests. You don’t need one more thing to pack!
