Sometimes I don't follow my own advice, but bring a carry-on when you go to Sandals, and you need a couple things in this carry-on to start your vacation off right. So the first thing is when you arrive, I get there usually pretty early. So sometimes I'm there at like 11:00 AM and then maybe the room's not ready and I'm, it's like, you can't tell, but it's, it's 12 degrees. Where I'm at right now. So it is freezing. So sometimes you fly in and you're bundled up, right? And then you get there and it's like 85 degrees and sunny. And then you're walking around because they take your luggage and they store it and then they take it up to your room. And sometimes your room might not be ready till 3. So you're walking around with like a jacket and jeans and whatever, and everyone else is in bathing suits going to the pool. So in your carry-on, pack a bathing suit, pack some sunscreen, pack a few little things so when you get there you can go ahead and change. Now you think that maybe I'll just put it in my luggage and then I'll go to the front desk and say, hey, can I get to my luggage? Now I have been, I have been where the entire flight's luggage did not arrive and the only thing we had for 3 days was our carry-on, which, um, was a camera bag for me. So I had nothing except camera gear and literally the clothes I wore. So bring a carry-on, put everything you want in it just in case.
