HOPE IT HELPS!!!!

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO LISTED THINGS FROM THEIR OWN EXPERIENCES.

I'm having problems finding bug repellent. It's winter where I am right now, so stores don't sell it. I guess I'll just buy it down on the island.

Can I get Charmin Ultra (or comparable) toilet paper on the island? (serious)

This is of very high importance to me. I can't deal with that one-ply/low-quality nonsense

hey islandthrift,

please tell us if they have charmin and if they have kleenex tissues there. The tissues are most important b/c my allergies sadly extend to being allergic to tissues especially the scented. also do they have laundry detergent like ALL free or the tide no perfume or dye. thank you

Unfortunately the toilet paper they have on the island is ****! You can get Charmin or Quilted Northern every now and again but you WILL pay the price for it. Same with tissues. If oyu need special detergent, bring some with you or ship it! If you're in an area (anywhere not on the east coast) in the US and you can't ship a large amount for a decent price please e-mail us and we can ship some for you. Basically if there is anythign you absolutely need or can't live iwthout, you're better shipping it/bringing it than relying on finding it down there.

I know what you mean, i wasted 2 hours of my life in Walmart last week trying to find the OFF! spray/bug repellant with no help from those clowns. so i'm going to tell you the secret to where they keep it in the winter season. are you ready?
it's in the isle with cleaning supplies like mops and stuff near the RAID bottles and ant traps, which might come in handy as well on the island.
Hope that helps!

where can i find a transformer, what does it look like? is that the same thing as an adaptor? bc i got one of those for $20 and it comes with different plugins for the caribbean/europe plugs. good for hairdryers etc and heating appliances. doesn't say can laptops be plugged in directly in the surgeprotector/powerbar without having to use a transformer? i know all new laptops can switch btw voltages...
