What should I pack when moving to Jamaica?
We asked people living in Jamaica to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"Wish I would have brought:
-Coffee Maker with extra coffee pods (Keurig)
-My art supplies
-Extra mosquito repellent
Wish I would have left at home:
-Several pair of shoes
-Electronic gadgets I don't use
-Jewelry
,"
