Common mistakes
Do not expect walking sandals to be your best choice for an evening of dancing; bring the low-heeled dance shoes or dressy flats. Skip heavy clothing that is uncomfortable in the daytime. A hand fan, insect repellent, and light rain layer take little room and fit this particular weekend better than extra bulky outfits.
