Comments on: Cancun Packing list http://www.mapchick.com Cancun, Riviera Maya, Cozumel, Isla Mujeres, Playa del Carmen, & Chichen Itza Tue, 27 Jul 2010 19:10:03 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Lisa http://www.mapchick.com/travel-tips/packing-list/comment-page-1/#comment-692 Lisa Mon, 10 May 2010 19:33:13 +0000 http://www.mapchick.com/?page_id=71#comment-692 For Carry on luggage. I would suggest getting the 3.5 oz plastic bottles and filling them with your favorite soaps shampoos and lotions before you leave your home. They will last about two weeks, I use them all the time, as I do not check luggage due to lost luggage in the past. This way you can have all your favorites that you use every day.

You know the liquid rules, so maybe you would buy your shampoo, and sunscreen and any other liquids once you get there. I know you can buy razors but I don't know if they are triple blade, if you want to do the carry-on only you might have to substitute some of your favorite brands etc. You can always stop at Walmart before heading to the island to buy necessities. Some hotels provide shampoos and conditioners, so you may not have to buy that. I wonder if people end up spending just as much on things that can't pack in a carry-on as what it costs to check a bag? I may have to try it next time and see what I spend on all the stuff I have to buy in Mexico. You'll have to throw away, or giveaway the unused amounts of these items when you leave. Remember, also if you have a connecting flight on your return you won't be able to bring home things like vanilla or liquor, those items have to go in checked bags. I'd love to hear from others on how they pack carry-on. Post it here to help our other readers! Hi Sherry,

I thought some of the above items were only for checked baggage and I could really use clarification on this. Can I buy disposal triple blade rasors on Isla Mujeres? LOL...Thanks Do you have a revised version for those of us who only do carry on & have no checked baggage?

Take a look at a couple that we recommend here http://www.cancunstore.com/category_s/36.htm You can order the Mexitan online and have it shipped to your home. If you plan to use a airport transfer service, I recommend entertainment-plus, they also sell the eco-friendly sunscreen Batab, that you see on the above site. If you use them for transport, you can also get your sunscreen from them. That's kind of handy :) otherwise, if you prefer to buy it at home, check health food stores. Hi Stacey,
