Besides blueberries!, what goodies are the USVI's missing that I may want to bring from mainland? Nothing serious, just little things that I might wish that I had brought, or packed into my moving "dumpster"... Thanks again, in advance!

how about tee shirts that say "no i'm not going back to the ship" or "no i do not need a taxi" the cab drivers here are probally the most annoying aspect of living here or visiting

the taxi drivers aren't obnoxious on STX, fortunately!

You can never have too many high power surge protectors if you want your electronic items to surve the WAPA power surges. Sometimes clothes hangars are impossible to find for a couple months until KMart orders another shipment.

There are assorted food items that aren't readily available. You can see lists people have contributed to in past threads on the topic. Many people who travel to the mainland now and then bring back a suitcase with some of the hard to get items to hold them through until their next chance to travel. My sons always wanted their favorite brand of jerky or red vines brand licorice.

Bring about three times as many swim suits and sandals as you planned. Sleeveless tops, too. You'll still want more within six months.
