What to pack for Antigua and Barbuda

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Shoes, if you plan on going to the rain-forest for the Canopy Tour you'll need closed toed shoes

Jolly Beach Resort Ristorante Bocciolo Men MUST have dress shoes and the frown on some womens open-toed sandals

Photo Equipment: water proof camera (even a disposable one would of been handy to have while out and about)

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Jolly Beach Resort supplied beach towels for a deposit at the front desk, you can trade your towel in for a fresh during your stay. Now that the airlines are strict on size, weight and number of bags this is a great amenity.

Miscellaneous: If you have a huge heart, love animals and have some extra room to bring presents for the shelter; PAWWS
The shelter is based in Parham
a few ideas of items needed below or contact the shelter: email: paaws@apuainet.ag
website: http://www.antiguanice.com/clubs/paaws/index.html

They always need treats, Collars (small to medium sizes) and leashes are always useful
short chains (about 12") with clips on the end- used to securing the bottom of the gates to the pens
Hard rubber toys that are puppy proof and some of those rope toys
Large steel water bowls
packets of Endolav Heart Worm tablets
or any items that you may think of that will help them look after the dogs and make them happy.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Swimwear must be covered for breakfast and lunch. At dinner, no swimwear, and collared short/polo shirts for men, long trousers, for ladies, generally smart casual, no Bermuda type shorts.

I must say that my wardrobe was smart casual, but there were a couple of occasions at dinner when I wished I had maybe brought some more dressy shoes with me (as opposed to flats).

Other than that, light clothing, linens etc because it's hot! On days when we had the odd rainshower, it still wasn't cold.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Most things available in Antigua, and a surprsingly small but well stocked shop at Galley Bay.

As usual though, it's usually cheaper to bring from home.

Luggage and bags: Hand luggage big enough to contain a change of clothes for arrival, especially if coming from a cold chilly winter country- the heat will get you and standing around at immigration is no fun in jeans.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Rain is brief and warm, no rain gear required!
Some restraunts may request no-sandals at dinner, check this out so you don't get refused!

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Things have to be imported to the island, so are more expensive. Bring your own sunscreen, insect repellent medicins etc. Of course these are available if you run out, but don't plan to buy there! When they run out you can just fill up the extra suitcase room with souvenirs and rum!

Photo Equipment: A must have for beautiful sunsets.

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Typical beach wear!

Miscellaneous: Food- as it is imported, can be expensive, easily packable things such as tea bags would be a good idea, especially if arriving late to an empty self catered house.

Luggage and bags: If you are flying from the UK on a Charter flight, do not exceed the baggage allowance and make sure your hand luggage does not exceed the stipulated weight and dimensions. UK Charter operators all now seem to weigh your hand luggage to check if it is OK. You should have no problems if you are flying Scheduled.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Casual wear, but suggest you wear long trousers (pants) for dinner. Most men did during my stay.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Didn't notice any mosquitos, but to be on the safe side pack some repellent. Sun tan and after sun essential.

Photo Equipment: I ordered a US plug for my Fuji digital camera, as it will not charge on 110 volts with a travel adaptor. The US plug works fine here, as in Mexico and the US, a very good investment.

Miscellaneous: They have a dual electric system in Antigua. Both 230 and 110 volts. The Americans are OK because any appliance they bring will fit into the 110 socket. However for us Brits (on 240 volts) the 230 volt socket is too small and only takes a small round pin plug, so our 15 amp plugs are useless. You will have to use a Travel Plug using the american pins. This hotel does have 230 volt adaptors, available from reception, though I didn't try them.

Luggage and bags: Anytime you find you are running out of room, try using a good quality plastic bag, fill it with your things, then use a vaccum and suck all of the air out you will be amazed at all you can carry like this.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Bring extra plastic bags for stuff!

Photo Equipment: Under Water Camera

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: From now on I'm going to always pack some of my own fishing gear.

Miscellaneous: I like to think of things to give to the people. Maybe it's old clothes or other items.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: swimming gear, light clothing, sandles for day.

Shirts needed for restaurant meals out for the men
Anything goes really for ladies.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: No problem with getting anything you need there
Take insect repellant though, may be cheaper.

Photo Equipment: Take lots of film for your camera or camcorder
you will need it.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Love to wear the leather sandals, but this hat came in handy to shade my face because the sun was very strong... ok, I am just showing off my kung-fu!

Miscellaneous: *the cruise ship just caught the picture I actually flew*

Luggage and bags: Use one main large bag and a small one for the plane

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Light clothing, it's not cool very much. Printed light skirts, comfortable sandles are a must,cotton tshirts, shorts and a bathing suit or two.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: sunscreen!!and any other required neccessites(deoderant, makeup, comb ect)

Photo Equipment: Make sure you have good batteries as there is so much to photogragh. Especially if you plan to take advanage of all the different adventure packages that are usually offered. We just took an automatic 35mm camera and lots of film
