"When moving to Montego Bay, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the tropical climate. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing such as shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses. Bring a hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun. Bring comfortable shoes for walking and exploring the city. Don't forget to pack a swimsuit and beach towel for days spent at the beach. Bring a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings. Additionally, it is important to bring any necessary medications and toiletries," said a member in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

"1. I wish I had gone to Dollarama and stocked up on spices and kitchen stuff. It pains me to spend $8-$10 on items I know I could get for free. 2. I brought a TV, but wish I had shipped both. Electronics are crazy expensive here. 3. Sheets, bedding, towels. I packed light so I didn't bring too much of anything. I had already read from others not to bring too much clothing and I'm glad I didn't," remarked another expat who made the move to Montego Bay, Jamaica.
