ron jon charges $20/day rental for beach chairs,so i would like to take my own? any suggestions? do you put it inside a suitcase or a box or something?
If you are staying on site I would just throw them on the plane. I throw everything on the plane. I have taken more stuff then you can imagine. They must love me at the airport. If you are staying in a pool home they might have them for your use. Don't sweat it.
I've found them at Eckerds drugs for reasonable prices. I just use them for the week, then donate them to the resort. You could even leave them on the beach next to a walkway and someone would probably take them and make good use of them.
I just check them in at the airport. I've even taken my cooler, I load it up with towels too. The umbrella I would just buy when I get there. They ahve some good chairs that fold up and are in covers, they can be easily checked.
