A few years ago, someone posted a helpful list of what to bring to Bonaire. I have searched and can't find it. It included coffee, tea, lemonade, papertowel, oatmeal, deet, shampoo. Can anyone remember what I'm talking about?

You might want to add a Tiara to your list just in case you go up to it Raines Fishes

Freddie, That's exactly what I'm talking about. I remembered a list, just forgot whose list. Thanks, I'm off to send a couple of e-mails. BTW, love your trip reports and pics.

I used to have it, but no more! Maybe if you do a search, you can find it. I know he's posted it more than once. It's CRAZY organized, and I do so love organization. It's very aethetically pleasing. lol

Other than the usual items, I always pack nylon shower puff thing, a box of zip bags (for restaurant left-overs, and fridge storage), 1 lrg zip bag (to bring home used bags, complimentary shower travel size bottles, and batteries for off island disposal), a corkscrew, a small power surge bar, all charging cords, and the manual for any new toys.

I don't bother with shampoo/condt,shower gels etc., as there's always a couple travel size bottles to get us started and then we purchase there (bag and weight restrictions outta Canada..to U.S...strick), liquids are heavy and bulky.

Carry-on, don't forget the bug wipes for arrival at the Flamingo Airport!

Hi all,
I remember the list, but it wasn't mine. I can't remember the name, but I think it might have been the guy who builds boats and helped with the installation of the camera/computer shed at Eden Beach.

As I looked at this thread, I just had a dreadful thought ---- I TOTALLY forgot both bug stuff and sun screen. Can't live on Bonaire without them both. What was I thinking????!!!!

I have loads of both at home (esp. love the wipes...) but my old brain is getting feeble obviously...
Oh, well, at least I'm arriving early enough that being covered up won't be too hot.
