The night before she left she emailed me to ask for a packing list for Curacao, and then she repacked everything.&nbsp;I asked her what Curacao packing list advice I should share that was the most valuable for her packing she said the following was most helpful:<!--more--><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Water shoes<\/strong> \u2013 Curacao resides off of the 2<sup>nd<\/sup>&nbsp;largest barrier reef in the world, so some of the beaches can have coral floors. Don\u2019t fret, some are sandy bottoms.<\/li>\n<li><strong>2 Long sleeve shirts<\/strong> \u2013 One for the beach and one to wear over short sleeves for evening.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lightweight long pants<\/strong> \u2013 We wear these most often at night due to mosquito potential.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sun swim shirt<\/strong> \u2013 sometimes called a rash shirt \u2013 Bring one. I don\u2019t go in the water without it. The sun is quite strong even if it is cloudy.&nbsp; (Believe me, you will wish for clouds.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wind breaker<\/strong> \u2013 I recommend a wind breaker in case you encounter some rain or perhaps a windy boat ride. I left my sweater in Florida (needed the suitcase room) because it is less practical. You\u2019ll likely never wear a sweater.&nbsp; I wore a lightweight sweatshirt on the plane that I never even looked at in Curacao.<\/li>\n<li><strong>1 Pair of pants + shorts<\/strong> \u2013 We like the zip-off pants that can be worn as shorts (a travel staple for us). I travel in them on the plane in case it is cool, and when we arrive on the island, I zip off the bottoms so I am left in my shorts.&nbsp;&nbsp;I wore them most nights when we went out to dine since everywhere we ate was outdoors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>For a dressier evening<\/strong> \u2013 If you are in town or at a high-end resort, you may want something nicer for the evening.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em>Packing List for Curacao for Ladies<\/em> \u2013 My preference is to bring 1 lightweight gauze dress, and a skort for evening or a day in town.<\/p>\n<p><em>Packing List for Curacao for Men<\/em> \u2013 My husband brings 1 pair of lightweight khakis and golf shirts.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Shoes and socks<\/strong> \u2013 I recommend good walking shoes and socks for hiking and walking.&nbsp; I wear my sneakers a lot.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Suntan lotion<\/strong> \u2013 Bring lots of it and whatever you use for after the sun. (Buying it in Curacao can be expensive so we bring enough for our whole trip.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bug repellent<\/strong> \u2013 Or the new clip-on personal fan variety.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hat with chin strap<\/strong> \u2013 Necessary for the strong and lovely trade winds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Good sunglasses with a croakie<\/strong> \u2013 Glasses can be lost easily off of a boat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>If you snorkel<\/strong> \u2013 Bring your gear; it will be better in quality and fit than anything you can rent.&nbsp; Also bring a bag for gear.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong><em><u>Additionally<\/u><\/em><\/strong><em><u>:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/adventurousretirementofficialsite.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/06\/imgp4116-e1434647197241.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-451 size-medium\" style=\"border: 3px solid #000000;\" src=\"https:\/\/adventurousretirementofficialsite.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/06\/imgp4116-e1434647197241.jpg?w=225&#038;resize=225%2C300\" alt=\"IMGP4116\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\"><\/a><\/u><\/em><strong>If you dive<\/strong> \u2013 We prefer our own dive gear and 3 mil wetsuits plus a vest and hood. I wear 6 mils on top, 3 on the bottom, and a 5\/7 hood.&nbsp; (If you want to take advantage of longer dive times, I recommend warmer gear, even if the water is in the 80s. With this warmth, I can dive for 75 minutes or more.)&nbsp; If you are boat diving, they generally plan for 60-minute dives.&nbsp; There are plenty of places to shore dive, and few \u2018not to miss\u2019 sites that are only accessed by boat.<\/p>\n<p>If you have been to Curacao and want to add to my packing tips, please do.&nbsp; And let me know if you want more specific tips.&nbsp; Happy traveling!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My friend Frann joined us in Curacao for a week.
