Who else likes to treat themselves to little gifts BEFORE landing in Negril?

[BreanaAshlee]

i go on a mini spree before every trip.. i buy new sandals..swimsuits..jewelry(that i never wear).. shorts...shirts..dresses..i pretty much buy a new wardrobe.. fortunately the temperature in orlando is similar to negril (only more humid) so my items get a lot of use and i don't have too feel bad about going shopping again for the next trip.. well that's how i justify it..

really my mom is to blame.. shes always picking up stuff saying "oh this is cute for jamaica" then i'm obligated to purchase it.

I'm the opposite,I bring my old stuff.....My old beat up "Chill in Negril" shirt,my 10 year old Ricks cafe shirt that you dont see anymore,my beat up Red Stripe sandals....

I'm with Fred. When you look at my old Negril photos, they all look like the same year. I've got a few shirts that show up in similar photos every year. Save my money for fresh seafood and Red Stripe. Did treat myself to some new snorkeling gear this year though.

Our trip is 3 months away and I've already bought quite a few things, a new bikini, some memory foam flip flops. But I always order some new Victorias Secret items the husband hasn't seen before we leave. Since he never buys anything for himself, my VS stuff is his treat!

Note to self: google memory foam flip flops ....

I am probably alone on this one but I hate to shop. I usually find something that fits and just buy it in all colors. So if I don't really need anything I do not shop. However, this trip is a little different. I have lost 25 lbs so although I have some old stuff that fits again I still needed a few more things. Went out and bought the same exact shorts in black and khaki only to come home and realize that the 2 pairs at home that do fit are black and khaki. Oh well I will look the same every day. Even my bathing suits are the same black and navy. I'm just so boring! Last trip I brought one dress but won't even do that this time. It will be bathing suits, shorts & capris, t shirts all the way!

Hell yes! I don't know about anybody else but Negril is like Viagra for us! I always make sure the mister has plenty eye candy! Our first trip was the first time I've ever worn a bikini, this reach I'm taking 3!
Try Zappos for memory foam flip flops. Adidas makes them as do Nike. They are the ****. I have very sensitive feet and since tennis shoes don't work on the beach I must have comfy flip flops. Everyone I've turned on to the memory foam rave about them. Totally worth the money, I've got three pairs and they last. I live in Texas so they're worn year round and I can attest they are well made.

Jbizek - I hear you on that! lol - maybe it's the music, the salt water, the warm sunshine, the ocean breeze, the smell of coconut oil ... but inhibitions just fly out the window after 24 hours.
I usually buy one thing from Victoria Secret before the trip to surprise the hubby too. There's so much great stuff on that website.

Otherwise, Most of our clothing is from our first vacation, just washed and re-packed. Anyone who has read our trip reports will recognize all of our outfits. Boring..yes.

Love Memory foam sandles too! So Comfortable.

[gerryg123]

Boring..yes.

Clarity, if you're worried about boring us, you can wear the Victoria Secret outfit! haha JK ...

But as Marko says, "what happens in Jamaica never happened!"
