What should I pack when moving to Riviere-Pilote?

We asked people living in Riviere-Pilote to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Riviere-Pilote, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items such as shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses. Don't forget to pack a good amount of swimwear as you will be surrounded by beautiful beaches. Pack a sturdy pair of sandals for walking around town and a pair of water shoes for exploring the beaches and rivers. Also, include a pair of formal shoes for dining out or attending local events. Sun protection is crucial in Martinique, so pack a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and plenty of high-SPF sunscreen. Bring along a lightweight rain jacket or umbrella, as sudden rain showers are common. Pack all necessary toiletries, but keep in mind that most items can be purchased locally. Remember to bring any prescription medications you need, along with a copy of your prescription. Pack a universal power adapter for your electronics, as the power outlets in Martinique may be different from those in your home country. Bring important documents such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or permits. Pack a French-English dictionary or phrasebook, as French is the official language of Martinique. Lastly, don't forget to bring a camera to capture the beautiful scenery and memories of your new home," said a member in Riviere-Pilote, Martinique.
