Driving:
If you plan to rent a car, be aware that most jurisdictions of
the Caribbean drive on the left. The only places where you drive
on the right are Aruba, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Guadeloupe,
Haiti, Martinique, and the Netherlands Antilles. In other places,
if you are not used to driving on the left, proceed slowly and
with utmost caution. You may wish to ride as a passenger for a
while before trying to drive yourself.
Driving
conditions and local driving patterns are different from the U.S.
Many roads are narrow or winding, signs may not be in English,
and in some places, domestic animals roam freely. Defensive driving
is a must.
Clothing:
Bring light ponchos for rain gear. These can be purchased from
most camping stores. Many stadiums also carry a light poncho to
sell to fans of local football teams. These work great as well.
They are small and light and easy to carry anywhere you go as
a rain cloud can come in no time and dump a monsoon on your head.
Packing tip: When you are traveling as a couple, each of you should
put one complete outfit in the other's suitcase in case one suitcase
is delayed or lost. It is also a good idea to carry a change of
underwear and socks in your carry-on.
