Hi! I'm new to this board. My husband and I are traveling to Bonaire on Oct 6 and staying at Divi Resort. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for packing things for her that would not be readily available on the island such as diapers, baby food, wipes, etc. I am not sure what is available at grocery stores on the island since we have never visited there. I am trying to limit what I need to bring with me. She does eat some table foods but once again I am not sure what is on the local menus. She is not a picky eater though. I did see on one of the information boards that there is a grocery store called Bonaire Warehouse in the capital and we will have a rental car available to us. What do you suggest?? Also, any other suggestions anyone has for the plane travel are welcome as well!

Thanks Cynde! I wasn't sure how to delete. I thought this may be the more appropriate place for the question!

Katina, most restaurants you can get french fries and/or some kind of chicken fingers for the little one.

If your daughter is a fresh milk drinker, you may run into some problems eating out. If the restaurants offer milk, it is long-life shelf milk which has a different taste than fresh milk. My family is split 50-50 on this subject. My daughter loves to visit the US because she can get fresh milk everywhere. If this may be a problem for your child and you have a refridgerator available, buy all the fresh milk you will need at the beginning of the week at Cultimara. They run out about Tuesday and no more until Friday or Saturday.

Can you buy baby food jars in grocery stores there? Also, does anyone have any experience with Air Jamaica and flying with infants?
