i made sure to bring ALL my toiletries down, which turned out to be great because they don't carry my brands here. and like others have mentioned, toiletries can be expensive down here.

bring school supplies too. i have found the bookstore prices to be up to double the US retail price sometimes. Most books are marked up by up to 66%! if you don't mind used books, i suggest you either contact island thrift (info@islandthrift.com) to put some books on reserve, or wait until you're down here and buy used books from other students. but if you want your books new, i suggest you buy them from the states and NOT B.I.G.!!!!! I NEVER RECOMMEND B.I.G. TO ANYONE!!!
