I need to come up with a what to bring and do list for newcomers. There is much collective experience from this board--I welcome your suggestions.
Club Mobay
Megamart in MoBay - snacks, drinks, 2 water bottles (fill up w/water daily, put in fridge)...
Bring ones and fives
Using ATMs?
Grocery shopping at night at Quality
Floatation device
Sunscreen, citronella mosquito spray
Plastic ziplock bags, diff. sizes
Water bottle
Hat
Sunglasses
....
For ATMs I would recommend the NCB machine in the Sunshine Plaza (by Hi-Lo). Less potential hassle than the Scotia Bank by the roundabout and I find the fees to be cheaper.
Personally, I would skip Mega Mart in Mobay, and just stop at the Hi-Lo and the ATM in at the same time. However, we stay on West End so it is conveniently on the way to our to hotel. If they are staying on the beach, it will be a few minutes out of the way (but still might be quicker than a Mega Mart stop).
Only get into a red plate taxi!

~Just my two cents worth - I mostly only comment on places I've seen and or eaten at personally.
Club Mobay ....is it REALLY worth the extra $$$ ???
Good question. It used to be.Originally Posted by Slightly Stoopid
Now there are kiosks and new simpler immigration forms, so the wait times have been reduced.
Why use ATMs? If one knows they will need some cash, get all you may anticipate before leaving home....Carrying worries?...I'd rather have it on me, than announce to the world "I'm getting cash, everybody"....just IMHO
Don't forget a collapsible cooler.....Always bring an extra phone/laptop charger just in case....an extra pair of headphones necessary!
Sunscreen, mosquito spray. And take time to relax.

Your own personal medicine stuff. Pepto Bismal, imodium, aspirins, small alcohol pads, etc..............
Reading the advice in this thread I'm wondering what the expectations of the newbies are?
