You are going to need tons of sunscreen. You can buy it in the resorts but you are better off bringing your own. We brought an insulated drinking cup on our trip. The resorts have cups but they are small and uninsulated. Bring plenty of small bills (for US visitors). Ones are great for tipping. Everyplace in Jamaica accepts US Dollars but must, by law, give change in Jamaican Dollars. That is why large bills are to be avoided. You can bring anything that plugs into a 110v plug (like in the US). Europeans must use a voltage converter. Some resorts have restaurants that require nicer dress. Bring at least 1 nice outfit. Also it is not customary to go off the resorts in bathing suits. Wear street clothes for that. You cannot bring fruit into Jamaica but the resorts have PLENTY. Anything you need to buy in Jamaica will not be cheap. You will pay home prices and have fewer choices. If you think you will need it there then go ahead and pack it. One thing I wish we had brought was a note pad to write names and email addresses on. We never did find any there. You will make new and fun friends there so plan a way to stay in contact with them. A digital camera is a must and you will want to send and receive photos from new friends. Other than that, have a GREAT time! I forgot to mention cell phones. My phone worked there but my wife's would not and we both have Cingular. Check your plan's website to see if your phone works there. Cost was about $3 US per minute thru Cingular and you can buy phone cards here as well.

Spandex unitard. I always bring mine. I say, you never know when you're going to have to seduce a circus clown. Also chapstick and of course lots and lots of spending money.
