Panic Packing: 5 Items You Can’t Forget!
What to Pack When Heading to Moon Palace Cancun
By Chelsea Henriquez
We've all been in that situation. The flight is taking off in a few days (if not hours), we haven't packed a single thing and are freaking out because of it. What comes next is what I like to call panic packing. Read: throwing things frantically in a suitcase, causing you to forget those non-essential essentials that will make your travel life so much easier.
But worry not; today I'm sharing the five things we're prone to forget when panic packing (I like that term, might make it a thing), hence the five things you should pack before anything else when heading to Cancun!
Get Your Charge On
1. Portable Charger
There's truly nothing worse than running out of juice while on a long flight. Especially since most planes offer Wi-Fi these days! Invest in a durable portable charger and never be that guy or girl again. Plus, it makes it easy to snap away while walking around the resort without having to stop for a recharge every two seconds.
Comfort and Protection
2. Comfy Pajamas
I know what you're thinking, "but aren't pajamas a given?" Well, you'd be surprised how many rushed travelers are forced to sleep in their beach cover ups (or undies!) because they forgot to pack actual PJs. It's so obvious that you just don't keep pajamas top of mind and often that means leaving them behind. A pair of easy breezy silky ones (like the ones pictured here) will do the trick while in tropical climate.
3. Sunscreen / Tanning Lotion
There's nothing you'll regret leaving behind more than this. If you do, you'll probably be faced by one of two situations: you run the risk of not being able to get your hands on some when in Mexico (ouch) or you'll pay a ridiculous price for it. Always. Pack. Sunscreen. Golden rule!
Hearing and Seeing
4. Headphones
Another common airplane faux pas. Trust me on this one: listening to a crying baby for 3+ hours is not fun. Also come in handy when hitting the gym or going for a run in paradise.
5. Cameras + Chargers
Because you'll want to capture your moments, duh! After all, they say if you didn't snap it, it didn't happen. If your phone is your camera device don't forget that charger. The Palace Resorts properties are so picturesque you won’t want to put your camera down not even for a second.
