Cruise Essentials

One of my favorite bags I carry when traveling is this super cute Mossimo sling bag. I bought it almost 3 years ago for a trip to Universal Studios with my oldest. It was small enough to fit in the lockers. I didn’t realize it that I would still be using it today and it gets so many compliments. The best thing not only is the bag super cute and versatile but it is also less than $25.00

On a recent cruise, I ran into a lady who raved about her water shoes. She talked about them with such passion that not only did I buy them but so did my friend Mary. These were only around $20 and I am so excited to try them out. Here is a link : They come in all kinds of fun colors. The lady I spoke to had probably 10 pairs.

I highly recommend when cruising you pack your own float. I picked this one up from amazon. It folds down small enough to fit in the backpack I carry to travel. I used it both in Grand Turk and Half Moon Cay on my last cruise. It was cheap enough to toss it if I didn’t have room to bring it back. However, it was still in great shape after two days of floating. I plan to use it again for my next cruise in November. You can find the floats here:
