What should I pack when moving to Bermuda?
We asked people living in Bermuda to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Bermuda, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and lifestyle. Bring comfortable, lightweight clothing that is suitable for the warm, humid climate. Pack a few items of warmer clothing for the cooler winter months. Bring a good pair of sunglasses and a hat to protect you from the sun. Don't forget to bring your swimsuit and beachwear for the many beautiful beaches. Bring any necessary medications and toiletries. It is also important to bring any important documents such as your passport, driver's license, and birth certificate. Finally, don't forget to bring your favorite books, music, and movies to help you feel at home," said a member in Bermuda.

"Wish I had brought: 1. Electric blanket - It gets cold in winter and the houses do not generally have any heating. With the high humidity, your bed can feel really damp and cold - an electric blanket is a necessity not a luxury! 2. Snorkel and fins - I had good quality diving gear at home and left it in the UK... Stupid! 3. Push bike - Got mine shipped out at a later stage, because good road bikes are very expensive in Bermuda. Wish I had left at home: 1.Leather jacket - not much call for this in Bermuda - it sat in the wardrobe for 6 months and got covered in white mould. 2. Rain gear - unless you've got gortext yachting wet weather gear, don't bother bringing it to Bermuda. When it rains here it really rains - and a thin hiking rain jacket will not cut it. Especially if you are zooming about on your scooter in the rain. The rain jackets and rain pants they sell in Bermuda are a much better buy - and heavy duty enough to stand up to the torrential downpours. 3. Smart clothes - I read somewhere that in Bermuda you had to look smart... and I misunderstood... Smart in Bermuda means "smart casual" - polo shirt and tailored shorts... suits, ties, jackets and dresses are rarely required," remarked another expat who made the move to Bermuda, Bermuda.
