So this episode is exciting because it’s because it’s super relevant as some of the DIP are going to be off to some R&R in the Florida Keys later this month. Packing is one of those things that is very unique to the individual vacationer. Some people I know start packing a week or two in advance and others will pack the night before.
It’s funny though because regardless of how soon you start packing, if you aren’t prepared for all the situations you might run into on vacation you’re still going to be stuck in your hotel room wondering how you could’ve forgotten this really important thing.
So today we’re going to think of all the things you might forget to bring for your next trip to Florida that we think you really shouldn’t do without.
What kind of fish eats loose change? How can you see through ocean water? Why is it so humid?! We answer all these questions and more on today's episode.
If you want to have a drink with us today we're enjoying ginger ale and whiskey and a snack of biscoff cookies.
