  • Sunscreen, especially in the Spring and Summer. A hat to keep the sun off your head. Houstonians are fairly casual. There are only a few restaurants and places where you need to dress up, and that's only if you want to go to a fancy dinner or to the theatre.

  • linens in the summer and don't forget a swimsuot. Sandles are a good idea. Don't forget the sunblock.

    If you go to Galviston to swim, it's a great place to swim by the way, remember it is salt water and rather murkey. Take sun moisturizer.

  • Pick your luggage based on the type of accommodations you'll be in. The less you're paying, the less help you'll have with your bags. And you'll want help: it's hot!

    Extra underclothes, socks, T-shirts (twice as many as you think you need is a good start!). Houston is nature's sauna: hot as Arizona, humid as Seattle. Pack as though you'll be in a rainforest. Houston is not techniically classified as a rainforest because it gets TOO MUCH rain, and it is too hot in the summer and too cold (barely) in the winter.

    Sunblock (all year), deodorant(!), bug repelant/cortisone cream, talcum/after-shower powder/foot powder, band-aids (I get twices as many blisters when I'm sweating profusely.) Leave the hairspray behind, buy products meant for humidity. Ladies, keep the make-up light or it will slide off your face: NOT pretty! Bring whatever you use for sunburn relief (even in December).

    Bring film for high light levels, in Houston the sun is bright even when it's pouring down rain!

    Don't go barefoot in Texas--the ground will burn the bottoms of your feet, especially at the beach! Extra changes of underclothes are a must for staying comfortable outdoors. Wear cotton or a fabric that wicks! And you won't feel thirsty because of the humidity--you must remember to pack plenty of water and drink ALL of it!

    Sunglasses.
