What should I pack when moving to West Moorings?

We asked people living in West Moorings to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"Essentials: -Identification documents (driver's license, passport, etc.) -Bedding and linens -Clothing and footwear -Toiletries and hygiene products -Kitchen supplies (dishes, cookware, utensils, etc.) -Small appliances -Cleaning supplies -Electronics (television, laptop, etc.) -Tools (hammer, screwdrivers, etc.) -Household items (books, decorations, etc.) -Furniture -Laptop/Desktop computer -Outdoor sporting equipment -Safety items (fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, etc.)," remarked another expat in West Moorings, Trinidad & Tobago.

"We are a family of 4 with 2 small children. I was pregnant when I first came to Trinidad, but went home to have my child. I would recommend bringing your own baby equipment as the standard out here is not very good and is very expensive. (Also, I did not find many places that sold actual baby clothes, fine from 2 years on and reasonably cheap). Food out here is very expensive and has increased quite a lot in the 18 months that we have been here, a tin of heinz beans is about one pound fifty!!! Also you would not be able to find gluten free products if you were a celiac. We brought furniture with us to furnish our house due to being quite expensive here, although there is a "courts" furniture store but generally the furniture is not good quality or is extremely good quality which carries an extremely high price tag," said a member in West Moorings, Trinidad & Tobago.
