In two months I will be married for two years….crazy, huh? To celebrate this milestone, we will be taking a mini vacation to Puerto Rico. Just a quick getaway to enjoy a little sunshine and hopefully a few fruity cocktails on the beach.
After searching high and low for a resort, I opted for the Ritz-Carlton. From the pictures it looks gorgeous and it has everything we need: a pool, beach, on-site restaurants and a spa….
To prepare for my upcoming trip I am in the process of putting together a packing list. So far, I have a bathing suit….I’m pretty sure a need a few additional things. To help with this dilemma, I consulted Lauren Conrad’s book “Style.” Page 187 has a great list for a one week beach vacation, but since I will be going away for just three days….here’s my take on her handy packing essentials.
