Need for long pants/ jeans?

[rooster]

I don't bring any jeans...bottoms out at 72-74 degrees in Negril by daybreak....since I do leave for the airport in late January from Chicago I just slip lightweight warm ups over my cargo shorts & they come off once I get to my gate...they never get worn again til I get my luggage back home at ORD....heck you live in your bathing suit the majority of the day....gotta chuckle at the folks who I see have no idea how HOT & HUMID it's going to be when they get off that plane in MoBay all dressed in winter clothes head to toe...some in leather coats..Listen to your other half Strangelandastar she knows what she's talking about...less is more applies here a lot less!!! I make a list of what I used (clothes in this case) at the end of my 6 weeks stay every year & adjust if needed the next year...NowMY other half thinks I'm nuts til she see's every year how she way over packed again in 4 trips..& here's the kicker...she's always overweight with the same amount of clothes at MoBay check in going home...it all the moisture from the humidity...all the clothes are a Huge sponge....maybe this coming trip she'll get it...2019 will be 26 years....soon come

I take off my jeans at the airport & change to shorts & never put them on again any of our 8 trips. It's HOT & HUMID Even while there in Feb. once during a cold snap I didn't need them. Sometimes I change into capris or beach dress in the evening but never long pants. Would unnecessarily take up room in the luggage. I remember our first trip 16 years ago we had 2 big suitcases packed with stuff we never wore. It seems like each time we come I pack less & less. Most of my time is spent in a bathing suit & cover up anyway. Pack light
