What should I pack when moving to Nicaragua?

"Wish I had brought: More Frontline Plus for the dog, water hose caddy/reel, and back-up battery charger for the computer Wish I had left: Oreck vacuum cleaner (all tile floors), gas grill, automatic dog feeder," wrote a member who made the move to San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua.

"When moving to Nicaragua, it is important to pack comfortable clothing in light colors, as well as a supply of insect repellent, sunscreen, and other basic toiletries. It is also a good idea to bring along core documents such as passports, driver's licenses, and birth certificates. Additionally, be sure to pack any necessary medication and a first-aid kit. To make the transition to Nicaragua easier, bring any small appliances you may need, such as hammers, screwdrivers, and pliers. Extra batteries for electronics and a surge protector are also essential items. Finally, don’t forget to bring portable fans and a mosquito net to help stay cool and protected," explained one expat living in Nicaragua.
