What should I pack when moving to Lake Chapala?

"You should pack for a warm, tropical climate with clothes that are lightweight and breathable, such as shorts, t-shirts and sandals. Bring items like a sunhat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to keep you safe from the sun. Don't forget to pack insect repellent to keep pests away. Be sure to bring an umbrella and raincoat if you plan on spending time outdoors during rainy season. Make sure to bring a power adapter or converter since many of the outlets in Mexico are different than in the US. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport and other important documents," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Lake Chapala, Mexico.

"Two things that I didn't bring and eventually did buy in the states was a vacuum and a sponge mop. We brought down large area rugs to put on the floors in the bedrooms that need to have a vacuum run over them. Everything here were shop vacs although now you can find vacuum cleaners. Sponge mops are still not found. I brought down a counter top dishwasher since our home did not have one. I also purchased a rice cooker and proper food processor on a trip to the states. I didn't need to bring my straw broom. The dust does not sweep up as well as it does with the plastic bristled brooms that they sell here," commented one expat who made the move to Lake Chapala, Mexico.
