What should I pack when moving to Dominican Rep?

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

"Clothes suitable for warm weather and casual settings, comfortable shoes, sunscreen, money belt, electrical adapters, over-the-counter medications, first-aid kit, insect repellent, hat and sunglasses, digital camera, passport and other important documents, phone and laptop chargers, umbrella or raincoat, toiletries, flashlight," said another expat in Dominican Rep.
