Hey 2Nutz - I will be reaching my first non/AI next month 2...Mi cant wait!!! and I usually take an insulated cup as I always needed it at AIs with there small cups it helps with the running back n forth 4 refills who has time 4 that your on vacation mon!...lol

Oh BTW, where can I find a map?

Would never leave home without the insulated mugs!! Here is the link to the map http://www.talkofthetownnegril.com/N...ap_2_15_11.pdf

Not a bad idea to throw in an extension cord. I have yet found a room that has enough outlets...or outlets in the right spot! Already got mine in my luggage thanks to Family Dollar. Have a great time!

Yup - always take the extension cord. There are never enough outlets for all the chargers etc.

When are you leaving and do you have a smartphone? There's an app called TripIt. I scanned all passports and travellers cheques as jpegs, then you can attach to your trip in the app. I have private taxi numbers, bank/credit card ph numbers, consulate, hospitals, restaurants etc all saved to my trip. SO handy for anything you may need. If your smartphone goes missing all you have to do is borrow a computer to log on for all your emergency info.

I actually use tripit but didn't know it did all that as well. Thanks Melody - great idea!

I add a plan (pick any day/time during my stay), do one called "passports", scroll down to the bottom where you can add a photo, then attach the scanned Jpeg copy of passports, save and done. Do the same for "banks", just copy all the contact info for lost cards from my bank's website and paste in a plan, then attach a scanned Jpeg copy of my travellers cheques. Same with consulate info, just copy and paste from the web. Even when the trip is over, I can still access that same stuff, if I want, I can even move those particular "plans" into another trip, but it's always there in my TripIt, unless I delete it when it's no longer valid.
