Want to help me make a list?

We are going to Bonaire in January and THIS time I want to be preapred and not be borrowing stuff from my travelmates. So I'm making a comprehensive list of stuff to take. I'll be like Captain America, I'll be so prepared.

sunscreen
bug spray
itch lotion in case the bug spray misses a spot
spray on hair conditioner
shampoo
conditioner
deoderant
tooth brush
tooth paste
razor
hair brush
comb
hair elastics
soap and/or body wash?
lotion
floss
de-fog

So. Help me out people. What am I missing?

I would check everything you normally have in the bathroom and get a sample size of that. I will tell you to take a bar of some type of soap as well as the body wash. the soap that the hotel provided didn't work that well.

First aid kit? A medicine kit(pain relief, stomach problems)?

Aftersun, tums, a couple of extra ziplocs to pack your toiletries in on the way home, ear drying solution, sudafed (just in case), an inflatable neck pillow and ear plugs so you can sleep on the plane.

you need the Popcorn you're munching on... LOL that's a lot of bathroom stuff, usually the hotel provides for most of it. My motto is pack light and if needed borrow....

Make sure the bugspray has DEET in it. And use it before you go to dinner, I didn't get bit at all diving but was attacked at most every restaurant with a tablecloth.

Take batteries for your electronics and take them home with you. Bonaire can't recycle them and ships them off-island so they're pricey there.

I'd take gauze/bandaids and Neosporin but then I'm good about getting torn up on the ironshore. Although there's a good pharmacia in town.

Get a couple of tank o-rings from your diveshop there. There's no diveops in the far north or anywhere south of Belnem so it's a long drive back for one. Some of the tanks are pretty beat up too, they get a lot of use - so look them over b4 you load them.

Who has a check list

Read this thread. I started it a while back. If you need it or want it it is probably on one, if not all, of these lists. It mostly a gear list

Ahem.......except for toiletries, maybe you will add your list.

Seems like you're missing the dive gear - assume you have a separate list for that?

Vinegar is useful to treat jellyfish/hydroid stings.

If you get blisters on your feet - vaseline before you put on your booties stops that cold

Baby Shampoo is a great mask defog
