Bikini, Tankini or One Piece

Let the countdown begin! With a little over 3 weeks until our trip to Atlantis I am counting down the days until we head south to the Bahamas – Give me the sun, the sand & a cocktail in my hand!

I swear, sometimes I love the time leading up to a trip just as much as the trip itself…ok, not really AS much, but I love the planning, packing, shopping & anticipation that leads up to a fun vacation!

So I am currently in the planning/shopping stage of our upcoming trip. Let me give you some more info on our vacay plans – this is a trip the Husband’s company takes their employee & significant others on.  It’s a pretty sweet deal, if I do say so myself. Charles & I have actually been on this trip 3 times before – it’s an amazing long weekend away! The annual trip was on hiatus for the past few years but for 2013 they are bringing it back  {wooohoo!!}

So here is my question – now that you know this is a work trip {of sorts}…

Which bathing suit do you like best for the trip? 

I currently only own bikinis, but I have been thinking about getting a one piece or a tankini for this trip for a few reasons:

• Business Casual: the Hubs colleague’s/work peeps will be in attendance {let’s keep it classy kids}
• H20: water slides , lazy rivers, dolphin encounters:  with all the amazingness that comes within the Atlantis experience, I don’t need any wardrobe malfunctions going on, especially in front of people we know!
• Peer Pressure: 95% of all the other women going are either a) preggo or b) bringing along their toddlers – so I assume they will be wearing one pieces or tankini’s, like they have in the past – is it weird if I am one of the only one’s wearing a bikini? Or am I over-thinking it?
• Something New: I don’t own a tankini or one piece – lots of them are super cute these days so I figure it could be a good time to try something new!

So I went through some of my favorite shopping sites and picked out a few that I like. I would love to know your thoughts on my picks as well as what’s appropriate to wear for our upcoming vacation!
