THINGS TO CONSIDER and other U. S. Virgin Islands Packing List Tips

Luggage And Bags: *Bring a large tote &/or daypack
*If you are big on the duty free shopping, bring an extra duffel for your loot
*Ziplock bags of large & small size are great to have, both for keeping things dry & for putting wet things away in your tote
*WATERPROOF BELT PACK for swimming, so you can keep your passport, money etc. with you - thefts on the beach happen all the time, often the cute little local kids that you see playing nearby who swoop in while you are napping

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: *sport sandals are indispensable
*reefwalkers are also great
*you'll need one slightly nicer outfit if you want to go into nice restaurants, but keep it cool & simple
*don't wear beach attire in town, it's considered rude & tacky
*remember it's usually well into the '80's F & for the most part quite casual, so bring shorts etc., don't overdress
*I can't do without several sarongs, but then that's just me

Toiletries & Medical Supplies: *bug spray! the mosquitoes at night will get you when you least expect it
*I bring several levels of sunscreen, and I use the organic kind that won't harm the sealife when in the water
*MotionEaze (see link below) is the best I've found yet for combating any seasickness issues
*I always bring my own little meds kit with Neosporin, bandaids, tweezers, & a few other useful items, but anything you forget can be purchased easily

Photo Equipment: *LOTS of film or disc space
*water resistant pack for your camera (even big ziplocks work)
*disposable underwater cameras for snorkeling
*underwater housing if you dive, the disposables just don't cut it in deeper water (even the ones rated to 60 ft.) - there's not enough light down there

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: *waterbottle - you don't want to get dehhydrated!!!
*I bring my own snorkeling gear, which I also use when diving - that way I've got it when I want it, and I don't have to rent something god knows who else has been sucking on

Miscellaneous: Most of the items listed above can of course be bought in the main towns on all 3 islands, but they will be a bit more expensive.
Still, remember to pack as light as possible, & leave room to bring some fun items back with you.
