Acapulco Packing List Tips by toddakiyama Top 5 Page for this destination

Wardrobe

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: *Anything pretty much goes in Acapulco or Mexican in general

*Everyone dresses in whatever is most comfortable and where they're from

*Of course if you plan on going to Palladium, you better dress in you club gear

Montemzuas Revenge!

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: *It is often very warm in Acapulco

*But a very very infrequent amount of the times it could rain or sprinkle, so pack a windbreaker

*I tend to have both shoes(walking around town) and sandals for the beach

*The streets can be pretty filthy with trash, dirty water, dust, etc..

*I also wore Aqua Socks when I was jet skiing...so I didn't have to worry about my sandals falling off my feet

*Buy t-shirts in Acapulco - for those of you on longer stays, buy your t-shirts from the street vendors so you don't have to travel/carry a lot of extra clothes. They are cheap and you can throw them away before you board your plane out of town...I saw people doing this a lot while backpacking through Europe and Southest Asia...and who wants to do laundry while on vacation :)

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: *
*I suggest you pack diarrhoea pills.
*Especially if you're not use to the food in Mexico

*I pack it regardless on every trip, you never know when you'll need it

*I've seen people right in the middle of a tour or nowhere close to a restroom have issues

*Sunscreen...you'll need it

Photo Equipment: *Travel with your Digital camera

*Kodak picture developement areas are around town

*Its cool to develope the pics and see them together while still on the trip

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: *Sunglasses or buy the cheap ones while in Acapulco

Miscellaneous: *I pack some comfort snacks with me on every trip

*I never had any problems with customs coming in...although I usually don't suggest any information to the fact that I am bringing in food items

*Its been nice to have some of my favorite items on a trip
