    Lots of great tips posted!
    Only one thing we'd add is that we pack about 15 or so wire hangers. There are never enough hangers in the closet! You can organize your outfits plus the packing wrinkles will be completely gone in an hour or 2!

    Enjoy your trip as Newbies! You'll be returning veterans before you know it!

    As far as clothes packing, more is better than not enough. We suggest each of you bringing enough swim wear for each day you're there. You might not need it, but better to have it in case you do. Bring a couple normal casual summer outfits you'd normally wear in public for when you go shopping off the resort or for any other excursion off resort. Bring a few beach wraps, a beach bag, multiple pairs of sunglasses, some hats for both of you, and a few pairs of sandals each.

    Bring enough dress clothes for eating at the reservation only restaurants. Now this along with the proper attire for Paty O's is where people's opinions REALLY differ, but again, it all comes back to bringing more is better than not enough. We love dressing up for dinner and don't eat at the casual restaurant or buffet unless we have to, so I bring a couple pairs of dress shoes and at least 5 really nice pair of dress pants along with a decent selection of nice polo shirts and button up shirts. My girlfriend brings enough nice dresses for each night that we are there. These dresses are sexy, but not at all over the top or too revealing or skimpy. She brings a good selection of heels, NO FLATS!, and wedges too.

    We always head back to our room after dinner to freshen up and change for the night at Paty O's. If you're the type of couple that loves to dress up in costumes and crazy stuff, follow the theme night threads on here and go as wild as you can imagine. If you're not into that, we still suggest bringing some sexier outfits for Paty O's. Look up the nightly themes on the actual Temptation website, compare it to the theme nights on here, and literally plan out every single outfit for each night for each of you. If you're unsure, bring more! It's easy to sneak back to your room quick and change if you decide to.

    They also have a nice little gym there so I bring a couple sets of gym clothes and my gym shoes. Everyone deals with their hangover differently...my girlfriend does the typical sleeping it off while I get up early, head to the gym and sweat out the booze.

    So as a summery start shopping like crazy and bring enough! Also bring a few things you're unsure if you'd be comfortable wearing too. There's a good chance you'll change your mind about what you're comfortable with once you're there. A lot of us on here start shopping many months before our trip to Temptation and start packing WAY before most people would even think about taking out the suitcases. Temptation is an addiction so just be prepared for that too!

    PaulnTina, great job. I want to stress, don't forget the imodium. Our first trip put us both in bed (sick) for over a day. Others were sick that week also. People said don't drink the water, I tried that, didn't work. We have not had a problem since, but last trip, I took imodium my first 3 days as a precaution. Sucks to lose even 1 minute of vacation due to being sick.
