chocolate chips
pencil sharpeners--the ones at the school are no good according to people "in the know."
extra razor blades for our razors--they are super expensive there
spices to cook with--they don't taste like the ones we have
decaf whatever--we only drink decaf tea and coffee, and you can't find it down there
lots of towels, that dry easily--you are hard on laundry as everything has to be washed often due to the humidity
shoes with great traction--for the rainy season and good support for all the walking. Everyone walks everywhere there.
sturdy umbrellas and other raingear
credit card with no foreign transaction fees--hadn't thought of this one!
extra checks for the checkbook and debit cards--many places only want cash
extra print cartridges--they are expensive down there
blankets! Most people say they didn't pack enough cool weather clothes and blankets. Right now, in the rainy season, it's in the 70s in the daytime and low 60s at night. The houses don't have AC or heat.
