In addition to my insulated tumbler, I also bring a reusable straw and a very small bottle (mine is about a 2oz bottle) of dish soap so that I can clean out my tumbler and straw at the end of the day.

Great video. Thank you. Maybe try these too:
We take colorful large towel clips for the pool and beach loungers.
A door stop comes in handy sometimes.
Dollar store suction cup hooks for shower loofah.
What's app instead of walky talkies.
If we have travel room, we take clothes that we don't want or use any more.
People in these countries are very appreciative.
Dinner pants that the legs zip off to second for warm day activities.
We take candy to hand out on Halloween cruises and resorts.
Straws. And share them.
We take glow sticks and hand them out in the evening time. Most everyone, adults and children love them.
We take 6"x9" Canada flags and clamp them to our loungers at the pool and beach.
Binoculars are nice some times.
A small travel umbrella.
Gum.
Cell phone portable power bank/charger for when you are not in the room.
Feel free to leave your kids at home. Bring your dog instead.

I always bring an extension cord for my curling iron. I like to sit down and do my hair in front of the mirror sometimes on the floor. I also bring a nite light. It’s helpful if you use the bathroom late at night. I also bring my iPad. A garbage bag for dirty laundry and a beach bag. I never leave home with packing a sick bag with meds in case someone gets sick 🤢 and it does happen. I also bring a can of air freshener for the room. Sometimes the room are musty.

Haha! I loved the need to pack a wand to fight off dementors! 😂❤

I've had crock blisters as well and I've resorted to wear sneaker socks in them to avoid the blisters. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Another tip is to carry a small towel in your beach bag for when you rinse off your feet and slip into your dry shoes when leaving the beach. We always pack a fly swatter to avoid unwelcome guests.

Just booked a last min trip to Punta Cana, this video was more helpful than I’d assume! Thank you!

[odessa]

I thought that I was organized, but you have thought of so much more! Thank you!

That HDMI adapter tip is brilliant. I can't believe I never thought of that.

I live in Oklahoma where we see normal highs of 110 degrees. I have a pool and have a great full body speedo tan by the end of the summer. I go with a super great tan for a Norwegian prince anyway. I agree with lots of sunscreen as it’s the UV that gets you and not the heat. Lots of sunscreen guys!!

Great video as always!
We stayed at Hotel Riu Palace for a week and you are so right about bringing your own first aid kit and bug spray. It costs us nearly $100 just for band aids, off-bug spray, and toiletries at the resort pharmacy!

Punta Cana is a beautiful paradise, I saw a photograph coffee table book on Amazon about this place full of beautiful photos and is gorgeous!

[tanishagordon]

Great video! I'd also suggest bringing DampRid because I've found a lot of the hotel rooms can get humid. Especially the ones where the AC shuts off automatically when the room is empty.

Wow! Thank you! Great to know! I am getting anxious about planning a trip to Punta Cana! I've NOT been anywhere in 22 years and got my passport early this year! I'm traveling solo, so a bit hesitant.

[jimryan]

You sir, you overpack. Carry on is all that’s needed

[madeleiinex]

Aloe Vera gel put it in the fridge if you get burnt it can help take some of the heat out of the burn like any burn

[whitneypurdy]

My son legit has the same wand and thought you were the coolest when we watched this video!

[artemmelnik]

Great review guys! Also very funny part about “magic wand” 😂😂

[Betembauer]
