Re: What's your secret packing tips?
We bring stuff that we use/give away there - Off candles, maid goodies, sometimes coordinate with someone to give stuff to schools, then we use the empty space in our suitcase to bring back coffee, rum, other Jamaica items.
BikerMike - I didn't now you were limited to 1 of the little bottles, I thought you could take what fits in your baggie. We both took a couple last time - is it a TSA rule?
Re: What's your secret packing tips?
Leave everything we need at the yard. Just carry a small bag on the plane.

Rolling instead of folding :)

Only pack half of what you think you will need.

Re: What's your secret packing tips?
We throw a couple of blue or black ball point pens in our carryon for the immigration/customs paperwork. The flights never seem to have enough to go around.
Speaking of the paperwork, I print a copy of the form ahead of time and fill out the information that I don't have memorized (flight info, passport number, etc.). Then, when it's time to fill out the real form, I have the data in one place and I don't have to dig around for the answers in a cramped airline seat. Here's a link to the form.

Half the clothes and twice the money you think you need ............ works everytime
Re: What's your secret packing tips?
med length extension cord....a few turns of duct tape around a pencil (full roll too big)
Re: What's your secret packing tips?
Great ideas! But I giggle at all the suggestions to bring half what you think you need. I understand the logic but the girl part of me as a hard time telling my cute clothes and shoes they must stay home. Don't my clothes need a vacay too? lol
Re: What's your secret packing tips?
BikerMike..like that idea. I ususally bring an empty water bottle and fill it up at the fountain after security.

I know duct tape fixes everything, but what would I need it for in JA? The ext cord is a spectacular suggestion!
