Re: What to Pack?
In terms of what is appropriate to wear I would say skirts that are below the knee, looser capri pants, tee-shirts, tank tops that do not show bra staps. Keep in mind that showing any part of your mid section or thighs will draw attention and you will probably feel quite uncomfortable. In it nice to have a few nice outfits to dress up in. No matter what you may here from Roland-do not worry about shoes, flip flops are what I wear 95% of the time and they are about fifty cents and come in a vast array of colors. Good luck and feel free to email me with any other questons-even if they seem a little silly!
