I was the one that started (unwillingly i might add) regarding the swimsuit controversy. How many swimsuits a person needs is pretty much an individual preference.Like shoes or handbags etc, i like to have different options when I go on vacation. I like bikinis, sexy one pieces, tankinis etc.I love fashion so of course I like alot of different suits. Having 1 or 2 0r 3 is perfectly fine-it depends what you do on your vacation.You won't want to wear your teensy bikini for surfing or some water sports etc and that was my point on the original post-bring extras (or not)because you never know what you will be doing.

I don't know about the others who reacted negatively to Colleen's posts, but for my part I have a problem with her statements informing people that they "need" a different outfit for every day of vacation, and they "need" several swimsuits. If she had said she prefers to have a different outfit everyday, I suspect fewer people would have reacted as they did. It's the know-it-all, my way is the only correct way attitude that is offensive. Personally, I only "need" one swimsuit, but I prefer to take 2 or 3 and I definitely don't need different outfits for each day of vacation no matter where I'm staying or what I'm doing. To the original poster - what you suggest sounds fine. That's about what I take, plus a sweater for cool evenings if you are going in winter and maybe a sundress. Have fun.

Colleen,
I agree, I am a lot like you. I am very into fashion and what I look like. I like to take care of myself. You always have to bring plenty of cute shoes and bathing suits(String Bikinis,Bikinis, one peices, takinis, different colors etc etc...) of course.

I have done the "guy thing" by just taking the bare necessities (sp?) and I am usually very disappointed.
You only carry (or roll) the luggage for a short while anyway so if you pack a cute dress and that extra pair of sandals and an extra swimsuit that you might or might not wear - so what.
So take what you want and enjoy!

FYI to "Watchyourtone"-girl you read way too much into things.I didn't say they "need" to bring many swimsuits as some sort of know it all. It was SIMPLY (and only that) a suggestion to someone who ASKED WHAT TO PACK and based on my recent trip to Maui I gave her an idea of my experiences. Personally I don't care how many swimsuits you all pack.I will enjoy my yearly trips to Maui and wear all the swimsuits I want-oh my god people what a tragedy that will be. Get a life....

Hey Colleen and Bikini Girl, I love what you have to say. I think that it is great that we take pride in making ourselves look good for the opposite sex. Even though we are all hitched it still feels great to have others gentlemen look our way. It lets us know we still got it.

I just don't think we should have to apologize for what we wear.
If I want to pack a steamer trunk, it fits airline weight regulations, and wear 50 outfits over a weekend, what business is it of anyone elses?
I don't take fashion advice from anyone.
Thanks for the replies.

I'd don't see the point to arguing with someone who likes to bring swimsuits, even bikinis. I like bringing a wardrobe of bikini & one-pieces to bring to the beach. There is nothing more annoying than only bring 2 swimsuits and having to wash them out everyday.
