I've got bug juice for that. I could't fathom taking pants to Negril, but hey to each their own.

Good idea to focus on the little things like TWO atm cards in case something happens to one of them. Plus lots of chapsticks and zip lock baggies (for cell phone) and TONS of lighters. When I go out, I bring two lighters, one for me to use and the other to replace the first one that gets lost. Extra charger cord in case god forbid something happens to the first one, and I also find it convenient to bring a big pool towel. Also, this past time I brought my own high-quality pillow as a carry-on, which was awesome for the flight; sometimes hotel pillows are not comfortable enough (or the pillow case is worn out, so it's a good idea. Also tin foil and paper plates and red drinking cups come in handy -- those items are expensive in Negril.
Packing will happen this weekend! Woohoo! Trying to keep it down to a reasonable amount. Got the shade tent, kettle, tea, toaster, peanut butter, baggies, tin foil, Bubba mugs, go cup...wait a a minute!?! Am I going to have room for any clothes? Single digit time...

The past 3 trips, I've just taken a carry-on. Take a few swimsuits and sundresses, some shorts and t-shirts, snorkle mask, flip-flops, nice pair of sandals, and a few books. Since I stepped on a sea urchin one time, I have since never forgetten my tweezers. Of course, sunscreen cannot be taken in the carry on, so I always buy that when I get there, and use a ton of it, #30 or higher.
I completely overpacked my first trip 10 years ago & have made a game of not overpacking since.
Like Prism, I can get away with just a carry on and a beach bag for a 10-14 day trip. 1 pair of pants , T shirt, and fleece hoodie all layered that I wear on the plane.
I bring a large sarong or a thin beach towel that I can use to sit/lay on or for shade if needed.
All of my clothes & sandals are tried & true. I don't usually bring new things. To me, nothing worse than being uncomfortable from clothes/shoes when trying to chill!
I color coordinate things. If I'm bringing blue & brown flip flops, I only bring clothes that will go with. The cute outfit that I need that one special pair of shoes doesn't go on the trip....unless a very special occasion!
No bling, only a few pieces that I don't mind losing.
No make-up, other than waterproof mascara.
I pack once, then start removing items
My goal, to not bring more than I can carry!

I've come to the conclusion that the only things I need to pack for Negril are what I can fit into my Big Bubba Keg carry on.
HAHA, before each trip I say "Self, don't you dare over pack. Just a few bikinis and a few pairs of shorts/tanks, and flips"
YA RIGHT!
I end up bringing Everything. Hope you do better than me
