If you can smoke Marlboro don't even buy duty free cigarettes on the way out, much cheaper here. A carton of 200 is 314 pesos, at today's rate to the pound that is just under 4 pounds sterling.

Buy your insect repellent here - at least it's got loads of DEET in it!!
Lambada correct on the cigarettes - much cheaper here!
Sun screen? Bring it - you'll need it!
Enjoy our little island

DEET is short for "diethyl-m-toluamide," it is the active ingredient in repellant. The higher percentage of DEET the more protection you'll have.
