Planning a trip to the sun-kissed shores is one of the best ways to rejuvenate from the hustle of daily life. The warmth of the sun, the refreshing ocean breeze, and the calming rhythm of the waves create an idyllic escape. But before you can dive into those tranquil waters, there’s a minor hurdle that vacationers are all too familiar with: packing.
