Always bring your beach shoes

Just a quicky here...

Always bring your beach shoes if you're going on a vacation that involves the ocean (or a lake...). Don't believe the brochures that tell you that a resort or area has "miles of white, sandy beaches." Nasty things (seaweed, rocks, coral or worse) can lurk under or on top of that lovely white sand. Sometimes you can see the stuff, but if there's any surf, you can't. Lightweight, inexpensive beach/sand shoes are a must at the beach. You can walk over and on all that icky stuff and enjoy the water. They may make it hard to swim (and of course, you'll wear flippers if you snorkel), but if you're like me and you usually only float a bit or walk in the water, they will vastly improve your experience of the beach, anywhere!
