Great list DrNick. Got a question about cookware. It seems like a pain to pack a big pot or pan or both in with my luggage. Is it worth it to bring these items? I DO plan on cooking.

Also, I haven't started packing yet, but not sure if I'll be able to fit everything in two pieces of luggage. I've read about shipping items with Amerijet, though. Does anybody have any thoughts/opinions on this? i.e. getting it all back to the mainland, etc?

what kind of blanket would you guys recommend bringing? a comforter? a fleece? a throw?

hmmm...cowgirl...
that depens on how strong is ur AC in ur room...

pots and pans are expensive in GND and not of very good quality, so if you are planning on really cooking, then its worth it. There is however the possiblity that students will be selling thing when you get down in the fall so you may get those cheap- if you have access to the sgu website, you can check the SGUPost- students are always selling things there.

i just brought down a small frying pan and a small pot for cooking pasta and stuff and thats it.

is there really a need for a comforter or do most students bring one? and if so, how do u recommend packing a big comforter so that it is compact? thanks!

bring a comforter. it does and can get cold during the night. dont bring a heavy winter one tho. a light-medium one will do.
i have this light down comforter (100-200 thread count) and its perfect. it also can be packed and squeezed into a very small lump and doesnt take much room in my suitcase.
otherwise get one of those vacuum bags

Thanks Jaywalk!

Dear Students,

As you pack your bags, please remember to include the following supplies in case of an emergency. While most items are available here, they are probably cheaper and more varied where you're coming from.

(And if you have a little more space, please pack a paint brush to help us in community projects to repair Grenadian homes damaged by the hurricanes.)
