Unless you have a reason to have a specific type of food, then you should bring nothing. You should be able to find pretty much everything you need to cook, eat, etc in the DR. If you're not too picky, I wouldn't even bother cooking, as restaurants down there are very inexpensive if you convert prices to dollars. Even better you could probably hire a cook for almost next to nothing. Alcohol? Forget about it...Much better selection and wayyyy cheaper in the DR than here in Michigan (i.e. a bottle of Chivas Regal that costs 32 USD here at Meijer, costs about 20 USD). You won't have to pay 3 or 4 USD for some diluted drink as you would here in Royal Oak, unless you go to some very expensive, snooty bar...I don't even know of any bar in the DR (except in the capital) where drinks would be that expensive.
Just bring an open mind and you will have a great trip. I just wish I could also go...lol. Freezing my butt off here in Walled Lake....
