You won't want to bring more than one pair of pants. You'll mostly wear shorts. No coats here. Pack lite- you'll be glad you did.
1) Your Bug spray 2) Your Sun-Tan lotion 3) Your Bible (don't forget that?!)
There are a couple places to check e-mail. One is in The Reserve Bank of Tonga (in Town). They charge about T$3. per hour, great deal. Leave a Comment

Take a sweat-shirt / jumper. In July it can get very chilly in the evening in Nuku'alofa. There was one night where I was very thankful I had a big heavy pull-over.
Take Mosquito repellent!
It's a good idea to pack your own snorkel and flippers. If you get invited onto a yacht or go beachcombing, it is handy to have your own gear. I wasn't going to bother, but I am really glad I did now! Leave a Comment

deet and pepto bismal
Take water proof sandels. I wished I had them as there is bits of sharp coral on the beaches
