Things you have to bring with you to the Island

[TrvlKaren]

I've been thinking about the stuff I need to bring for my June trip.

The essentials are:
Camera - DSLR, multiple lenses, etc etc. Also a smaller canon with an underwater housing.
Shorts - one for swimming, one for not
T-shirts - 2 or 3
Shoes (sandals light trail runners for hiking)
Wallet
Sunscreen
Camp Soap - use for everything and it's biodegradable
Bug Spray

That's all I really need. I might pack a book, but I won't miss one if I don't. I will have way more camera gear than clothing or other stuff.

But now I'm wondering if I need a machete...

jmhouse: my kind of packing...I am one of the lucky ones who married a like-minded packer.

15 days with 2 carry-ons and a polar bear cooler.

I guess I will just have to make due without the machete.

Take more cash than I plan to spend! It's a rush to get home with money in your pocket. We make it a ritual to put the leftover cash in an envelope marked STJ in the safe and talk about starting a new ticker.
