What should I pack when moving to Abaco Islands?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Abaco Islands to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to the Abaco Islands in the Bahamas, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. This includes items such as shorts, t-shirts, sundresses, and swimwear. You should also pack a few light sweaters or jackets for cooler evenings. Footwear should include comfortable walking shoes, sandals, and water shoes for beach activities. Don't forget to pack plenty of sun protection items such as a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. You should also bring your personal toiletries, prescription medications, and any other personal items you use daily. If you wear contact lenses or glasses, bring an extra pair. Pack a good quality insect repellent and a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to bring water purification tablets or a water filter, in case you need to purify drinking water. If you plan on cooking or preparing meals, you may want to pack some non-perishable food items, as groceries can be expensive on the islands. Bring your important documents such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or permits. Also, pack a copy of your medical records and insurance cards. If you're planning on working or studying, don't forget your laptop, chargers, and any other necessary electronics. Lastly, pack items for entertainment such as books, board games, or snorkeling gear to enjoy the beautiful waters of the Abaco Islands," explained one expat living in Abaco Islands, Bahamas.
