When you go on vacation you want to be sure that you’re packing everything you might need, and this is most likely what stresses us out! After all, packing for your Mexican getaway is probably one of the least unpleasant jobs on your to do list. Just keep reminding yourself that you’re about to embark on an amazing vacation and that this (packing) is the way to get there!

On the plus side it is very easy to pack for your Mexican getaway, assuming that you’re going to a big city or beach destination rather than a backpacking village. Most of the things you’ll need, for example, can be found once you get there if you forget them!
