Traveler advice

What to pack

Casual vacation spot

Don't overpack. Fashion is simple in this area and comfortable walking shoes and layers are a must. A nice outfit for dinners and a concert at the performing arts center, but otherwise, wear what's most comforting to you while vacationing. Nights can get quite cool even during the summer so be prepared. Rain attire should be included as there is so much outdoor activity that a little rain shouldn't stop you as long as you're prepared.
