Ziplock baggies for keeping things clean/dry at the beach (food, phones, cameras, etc.).

Wonderful news. Glad you get to make the trip.
I like to take a beach bag and the one I take is the 99 cent bags you can buy at
Homegoods, Marshallls or TJ Maxx. They are thin but pretty strong for carrying things to the beach.

Here are a few items - by the way, are you checking bags?
Bungee cords, duct tape, snacks, small cooler for beach beverages ( this could be a carry on - I used the 24 can Polar bear our last trip). A couple hats, drink koozies, water shoes for rocky water entries, cash, call your credit card companies to make them aware of your trip.
Have a great time, so glad your husband is cleared to go on the trip!

Portiemom, when were you there? We have been lucky enough to not have bugs the 4 times we have been there in January....

Most important...
Don't forget to enjoy, relax and take time to do nothing.
Listen to the trade winds, lapping water and island critters.
Watch the clouds, colors of the islands and people.
Embrace each other and what STJ offers the soul.
Have a great time.
