What to bring: passport, travel tickets, cash, credit card, driver’s license, sunscreen, sunglasses, ipod and charger, camera and charger, be sure to clean pictures from your camera so you can take as many as you want. Cell phone and charger, 2 swim suits, 2 beach towels, toiletries, etc. Search online for an extensive packing list!
What to wear- take a good look at what you're wearing! Good shoes are a must! They should be easy to take on and off at security, easy to walk in long airports, and easy to stand in line! Don’t wear jewelry or items on your clothing that will cause the metal detector to stop you! It’s very embarrassing to have metal on your pants or shirt and for them to have you strip down or wand search you several times.
Don't be this guy! If you don't really need it- check it!
Get a lanyard with a good pouch attached! It sounds cheesy but it really saves you time and frustration! I have a lanyard with a blue Velcro pouch that holds my passport, boarding tickets, flight information, health card, and even has a place for my pen. The pen is handy to fill out custom’s forms or write down flight changes. I put the lanyard around my neck from the check in desk until I board the plane. You will need the information for all security points (sometimes several points), tickets at the gate, and sometimes at the plane entrance. 
Carry your camera in your carry on luggage. The larger machines for the checked luggage have been known to erase camera memory! Check out the TSAs list of prohibited and acceptable travel items.
Bonus tip: Once you get to your room: Beware of putting your room key near your credit card. The magnetic strip can deactivate your room key!
Travel smart!
