What to pack?

12 days 'til we go!

Starting to think about clothes packing. Question is can it feel chilly in the evenings at this time of year? Do I need to put in a few slightly warmer long sleeved tops?

Highly unlikely, Julia. During the winter months it can get surprisingly cool during the very late hours of the night, but I've never resorted to long sleeves.

Thanks for that Steve, it'll save some space in the suitcases! It's always annoying to lug clothes there and back and you never wear them.
Can I just check though, you may be being a manly man, does your wife (Jill?) uses any warmer tops in the evenings?

You must be joking, Julia - I'm a total wimp when it comes to the cold. Jill is the one with hairs on her chest.

No, Jill doesn't even take anything to covers her shoulders fully, much less a wrap or anything - and we go during the coolest months.

Hi Julia,
one word of warning, Steve is right about Tobago that will be fine, but you may find the plane a bit chilly on the way home. My wife always takes a pashmina.

Regards
Kevin

Hi Kevin

It's funny but while I was discussing Julia's post with Jill before replying, I had this nagging feeling at the back of my mind. Your reply makes me realise that it was exactly the problem that you highlighted.

Thanks Kevin, Steve and Jill.
