Sounds like you've got it covered, Kristina. Bringing at least one dress is a good idea for the ladies. It does not have to be formal; a light cotton tank dress or sheath will do (spaghetti straps or strapless are not a good idea).

Shorts and sleeveless tops are fine, but remember that you will be sitting on buses and trains, sitting in restaurants and other places, etc., so short shorts are not a good idea. Cropped pants and capris work better. Again, with tops, it's better to have tanks and light tops that provide coverage, if only to avoid funky strap tans. Strapless tops are, again, not a good idea.

Remember that you will probably have to hand wash most, if not all, of your clothing in the hotel sink! On that note, remember to bring some laundry detergent. Liquid is better than powder, but either works.

Target sells detergent in single-use packs, or you can just purchase a 3 oz. plastic container and fill it with concentrated detergent. You will check in your luggage anyway, so you don't have to worry about the liquids restrictions.
