Since you only did carry on and didn't ship ahead, what did you do about things like sunscreen, shampoo, etc.? 3 oz. just won't cut it for a week. That's the only reason I'm considering shipping ahead. But now I realized that Connections closes on Sat. at 1:30 and we won't be there by then so now I don't know what I'm gonna do. I just love to only have carry-ons!!!

I agree with all that Pia said. I too packed my "good stuff" in small travel bottles and dispersed them throughout the 4 quart bags our party of 4 was allowed.

We bought sunscreen and body lotions there. Good sunscreen was only $11 a bottle and I found a heavenly smelling Hawaiin Tropic body lotion for aftersun for $8- all at Chelsea Drug and Starfish Market.

One funny note, we thought we forgot our shampoo and found Prell at Chelsea Drug for $7. I hadn't seen it in years...brought back memories of 7th grade! LOL

Nice report!

Is there a good selection of sunscreen?? My skin is sensitive, so I have to be careful and the only way I can get my son to wear it is if it's the spray on stuff.

There was a decent selection of sunscreens. I was able to get the oil free Faces Only line which I swear by and then I purchased other Hawaiian Tropic products. I did buy spray on but can't remember if I got it at one of the stores or Trunk Bay.

I did laundry midweek for the kids-I know some people loathe work on vacation but hey, it’s not like I had to go beat it on a rock, our villa had a washer and dryer. Besides the point, I’m a great multitasker. I can load the washer and not spill a drop of sangria while doing it.

My kinda gal!!!
What a nice report...especially since you lost the original. Thanks so much for the extra effort of redoing. Your camera recovery is one of the many reasons that my first choice of car rental is Conrad Sutton. I'm off to read your dining reviews. So glad that you loved your trip!!
