What should I pack when moving to San Andres Island?

We asked people living in San Andres Island to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to San Andres Island, you should pack lightweight clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items like shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses. Don't forget your swimwear, as the island is known for its beautiful beaches. A light jacket or sweater is also recommended for cooler evenings. Pack plenty of sun protection, including a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and high SPF sunscreen. A reusable water bottle is also a good idea to stay hydrated in the heat. Bring comfortable walking shoes for exploring the island, as well as flip-flops or sandals for the beach. Remember to pack all necessary toiletries, including travel-sized shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and toothpaste. However, these can also be purchased on the island if you prefer to travel light. Don't forget your necessary medications, along with a basic first aid kit. Pack your passport, driver's license, and any other necessary identification. Also, bring enough cash and credit cards to cover your expenses. If you plan on using your phone, make sure it's unlocked for international use. Also, pack a power adapter if your devices don't use the same plugs as in Colombia. Bring entertainment for your downtime, such as books, a tablet, or a portable music player. Lastly, pack a camera to capture the beautiful scenery and memories of your new home," explained one expat living in San Andres Island, Colombia.
