Packing List Part 2

It's getting chilly out and I cannot wait to go home! I arrive the island of enchantment on December 13th and Ryan gets there on the 20th. So exciting! RSVPs are starting to roll in... Have you started to pack your bags???

I forgot a few things on my first "Packing List" blog. Some more thoughts:

• Shoes: Aside from a nice pair to go out and for the wedding, make sure you bring good sneakers for walking and sandals for the beach. You will see Puerto Ricans are obsessed with crocs so don't be afraid of wearing your most colorful pair. Also, if you are visiting a river I strongly recommend you get water shoes. If you don't have a pair you won't have any trouble finding a cheap one at any Walmart, Walgreens, K-mart, or any grocery store in the island. BTW, the biggest chain of grocery stores in the island is AMIGO, owned by Walmart.
• Electrical outlets/wattage is the same as the mainland, so no need to pack a converter.
• Your swimsuit! Hotels have towels and most of the vacation rentals provide them also. But I strongly recommend you double check with your vacation rental office.
• Your camera!
• By now I think that most cellphone providers work from Puerto Rico and don't charge roaming or long-distance. For sure: Sprint and AT&T work fine.
• If you have a portable GPS you should bring it. That being said, some rural roads in Puerto Rico tend not to be on them. Your invitation should have arrived with a map. Bring that with you!

Feel free to contact me if you think of anything else. You can find pretty much everything you buy in the states down in the island so don't stress too much if you forget to pack some essentials!
