If only I had brought.....

D&B - LOL! Yeah, I guess a 52 oz mug should be classified as a keg! The staff love them so I give it away at the end of each trip and go hunt for another one online before I head back! Not sure if you saw the baseball one I had last year.....anyway, I stick to the football theme. Actually saw a couple with two of them this past week...cool stuff.

Alright, be good and hopefully we'll see you guys next time!

A standard light bulb--
-- if you really want to see well enough to fix your makeup in the bathroom. Whose low watt curly ones just don't do it!

Bug spray--
-- definitely necessary at some times of the year. Twice in 12 trips the Mrs has gotten attacked by the "no-see-ums" (or worse). Returned home from one trip with well over 100 "bites" on her. I had not a one. You DO NOT want to know what our doctor suggested it was, but I think he was unfamiliar with the potentials of foreign travel.

Travel Insurance--
-- last trip to Jamaica, AA lost our luggage. ALL check-in luggage. NEVER got it. Try living with a woman for 8 days who has been deprived or her makeup (other than what was in her purse), her "little black dresses", her favorite swimsuits and coverups (Odd--I didn't even miss mine?), etc.

And, especially if either of you has any kind of chronic illness. You DO NOT want to be dependent on a foreign hospital. (Actually the American Hospital in Cancun is quite good, but NO such thing in Jamaica. And it's $12,000US to charter a Leer Jet to get you home in an emergency. Actually, that's just to Miami.)

Photo copy of your Passport--
-- just in case you lose the real thing. Carry the copy in a different spot. Makes it easier to get a replacement. (Happened to our travel friends, although could be he just didn't want to go home from Jamaica.)

Redbull (or even a cheaper version) -for mixers and a boost of energy and gatorade for the morning after!!!! both avail in the logo shop but $$$$.

You should have seen the look on the customs agents face last year when they opened the suitcase that contained nothing but REDBULL, GatorAID and sunscreen!!

So they will fill the mug/ "kegs" up all the way w/ alcohol? How nice is that. I guess I better get some.

[eddieandjojo]

Oh yes, no problem there! Many times they just tilt the bottle (in my case Captain Morgan) until I tell them to stop! Hard for them to judge given the massive size of the mug/keg. Oh well, you get my point AND you'll be glad you packed it on your trip. Go online (ebay in most cases) and you can get one for about $15 delivered.

Have fun!

Ladies If you have a manicure or pedicure either bring your own nail polish or buy the one they use there. The hot tub, pool, beach are all hard on the nails. My manicurist was nice enough to just give it to me when I explained where We were going...well not exactly were we were going! . Be there this coming Tuesday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

If you want to plug in a cell phone (or two), or perhaps a laptop or a camera battery charger, a triple plug electrical wall tap (to expand the number of outlets) is a good idea, too. The number of outlets in the rooms is seriously minimal.

Definitely an excellent suggestion. Seriously minimal is an understatement. I was always juggling plug ins during our last trip.
