 <\/p>\n

Your wedding in Hawaii is booked and you’re ready to hop on that jetliner, dig your toes in the sand, and say your “I do’s.”<\/p>\n

You’re probably wondering, “What should I bring?”<\/p>\n

Here’s my two cents:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. AN EXTRA “EMPTY” SUITCASE<\/strong> – There’s a lot of stuff to buy in Hawaii for yourself, family, and a few select friends (who are worthy).\u00a0 \u00a0There’s Kona Coffee, chocolates, Aloha Shirts, Swim Trunks, Bikinis, jams, cookies, recipe books, just to name a few items off the top of my head.\u00a0 \u00a0And an empty suitcase is what you’ll need to haul all your goodies back home.\u00a0 Men beware!\u00a0 If your woman loves to shop, she’s going to be in heaven here!\u00a0 Everywhere your girl turns, there’s an opportunity for you to go bankrupt!\u00a0 To my brides who have poofy wedding dresses, the extra suitcase can be dedicated to the safe transport of your wedding attire.\u00a0 Then, on the way back, your poofy wedding dress can double as packing material to protect any fragile souvenirs\u00a0you may have collected during your stay.<\/li>\n
  2. GOOD PAIR OF WALKING SHOES<\/strong> – You’re going to do a lot of walking in Hawaii and if you don’t have a good pair of walking shoes with you, you’re gonna get a few blisters.\u00a0 And trust me when I say this, a few popped blisters will spoil your trip. If you plan on doing any hiking, make sure to bring shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty.\u00a0 And if you do any hiking, you may want to bring an extra backpack and water bottles.<\/li>\n
  3. GOOD HAT, PAIR OF SHADES<\/strong> – The weather is beautiful here all year round, and more than likely, you’ll probably end up spending close most of your day, out in the sun, during prime baking hours.\u00a0 That’s between 10 am to 2 pm.\u00a0 \u00a0 Make sure to smack on some good sunscreen, highest SPF. Don’t worry you’ll still get a tan.\u00a0 \u00a0A good hat and a pair of shades go a long ways too.\u00a0 Do not get sunburned here!<\/li>\n
  4. EXTRA BATTERIES\u00a0<\/strong>– Do I need to remind you to bring RECHARGEABLE\u00a0batteries? Well, I’m doing that right now.\u00a0 Bring extra batteries for your cell phone, camera, laptop, any item you have.\u00a0 \u00a0All those pics and selfies you’re going to take in Hawaii is going to drain your batteries – fast.\u00a0 Along with extra batteries, you may want to bring a cigarette lighter USB charger.<\/li>\n
  5. GOOD UNDERWEAR\u00a0<\/strong>– You’re probably scratching your head on this one.\u00a0 \u00a0I’m not talking about sexy lingerie.\u00a0 \u00a0I’m talking about good underwear.\u00a0 \u00a0You’re going to be doing a lot of walking and the last thing you want is underwear that isn’t breathable.\u00a0 \u00a0If you don’t listen to me, you’re going to sweat – A LOT – in the nether regions.\u00a0 \u00a0I cannot tell you how often I see tourists with butt sweat that is so severe, it looks like they peed in their shorts.\u00a0 \u00a0Buy some good underwear – you can thank me later.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    ~ ONE LAST VERY IMPORTANT REMINDER ~<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

    Don’t forget\u00a0YOUR RINGS!\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Don’t pack them in your carry on.\u00a0 Wear them on the day of travel if possible.\u00a0 It’s the safest way.\u00a0 Do not pack them in your suitcase or carry on.<\/p>\n

    Wear them – wear them – wear them.<\/p>\n

    When you get to your hotel you can take them off and put them in the safe until your wedding day.\u00a0 \u00a0 There are stories of TSA workers ripping off Ps4’s and clothes as they are “checked” for explosives.\u00a0 \u00a0I’ve actually heard of wedding rings that went missing.\u00a0 \u00a0Don’t be a statistic, listen to the wedding guy.<\/p>\n

    And that about wraps up this article.\u00a0 Have anything to add?\u00a0 Leave them in the comments below.<\/p>\n
