Extended stay advise

Plastic zip ties - multiple sizes and duct tape

Sure, you can get a lot of items at Hi-Lo, but it may be cheaper to grab some things from the dollar store before you arrive. I always bring ziplock bags, clothespins or bag clips, a couple of plastic containers for leftovers, Sweet & Low, etc. We only stay a week, but it's nice to not have to worry about finding these things when I need them. If I were staying a month, I'd make up a bigger first-aid kit with all the regular medications you keep at home, plus safety pins, band-aids, etc. Other things I'd want to have: batteries, electrical tape (you'd be surprised at the number of things you can use this for!), mini-sewing kit, extra phone charger, memory cards, small pair of scissors, extension cord, small flashlight, and a swiss army knife (or similar tool). I've read about some people bringing a small blender to make smoothies with all the fresh fruit available in Negril.

I can't imagine spending an entire month - lucky you! We are just getting ready to spend our first full week this May - in the past, we've only been able to swing 5 nights because of work obligations. Enjoy!

My must have was my own linens, towels pillows etc but I was there for 4 months OMG those were the good old days

I always bring a few scented dryer sheets to put in the drawers with our clothes. Keeps them smelling fresh and you can use them to rub on anything that has static cling!
