What should I pack when moving to Port of Spain?

We asked people living in Port of Spain to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"Originally we were supposed to have a furnished home... With that in mind we packed enough for 2 weeks to live in a hotel. There's not much we brought that we shouldn't have. Things that I wish I would have brought... 1) Bedding: If you like 1000 count sheets like I do, they are hard to find. If you find them they are expensive and not the quality as the ones in the states. Plus, bedding sets are hard to find and there is no variety. 2) Summer clothes: Clothes are expensive and everything looks the same. You pay about $50 US for a sun dress that you would buy for $15 - $20 US. 3) Spices: You are limited to local spices and seasonings. Some grocery stores sell imported items, but you are limited to what they provide," remarked another expat in Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago.

"Clothing suitable for hot and humid weather, rain gear, sturdy walking shoes, mosquito repellent, sunblock, hat, swimsuit, medications, electronics and phone charger, camera, documents and important paperwork, books, first aid kit, binoculars, flashlight, cash," said a member in Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago.
