Hi All

I am off to Samoa in the weekend and am preparing to travel. We have one night in a city airport hotel, four nights in a beach fale (beachfront hut with share bathroom and meals) and two nights in a resort.

It should be mostly 26-28 C. We will be doing water activities as well as hikes, reading and casual dining. There will not be a need for a lot of resort wear.

Samoa is a religious place and cover ups are important whilst not on the beach etc

I can also wear the dress for dinners and the skirt.

I have not been to Samoa and I am looking forward to it greatly - it is that point of the year here:) We are amidst renovations and I have been living out of a small capsule at home whilst most things are packed away.

Shoes are always the hardest thing for me - four pairs feels a bit excessive.... I could leave out the Hoka and just take hiking shoes?

It is pretty colourful but there are some basics in white, denim and navy to pull it all together.

Anything I have forgotten?
