Bahamas Packing Instructions
Carry-on Bags
Personal gear should be packed into 2 “carry-on” bags:
- 1) a soft duffle bag ~22” x 14” x 9”, and
- 2) a standard backpack ~ 12” x 6” x 14”.
- The above mentioned sizes are so that your bags can be carried onto the plane in Chicago with one bag placed in the overhead bin and the other at your feet. Bags/luggage with “hard edges” are difficult to pack in the plane from Nassau to Andros Island. The total combined weight of both bags must not exceed 40 lbs.
Clothing Packing tips
- Plan to dress in layers, a rain/wind shell is a good top layer if it gets cooler. - Bring ONE set of nicer clothes that can be worn twice, once for church on Sunday and twice for dinner out Thursday. - You know better your tolerance for re-wearing clothes, but I suggest a ~daily change of socks (unless you were sandals over shoes) and undergarments, 1-2 pairs of light weight long pants/sweat pants, 6-8 shirts/tops (short sleeved, long sleeved, tank-tops), sleeping attire, and 2 swimsuits.
