Vacation Flip Flop Footwear

Flip flops rule. They are almost weightless, usually inexpensive, protect the feet from warts, broken glass, fishing hooks, live creatures with pincers, wood slivers and hot sand...they even look cute on the feet. This is a no-brainer. I love those.

I say, go hog wild on the flip flops. Get a pair of basic thongs that you find comfortable for walking, get a fancy pair (imagine rhinestones or flowers) for the trendy beach cafes, and have a wildly adorable pair (think hot pink? Or a pair to match your sarong/sun hat/new tatoo?) for lounging purposes, wherever you wish to be seen.

Usually my articles recommend you pack wisely for vacationing, but in this case the items are so packable that you really can overdo it and not pay usual overpacking price.

And, even if you forget to pack a pair or three, you can generally pick up an inexpensive/cute pair of flip flops at your cruise or beach destination.
