Could anybody give me any advice on actually getting stuff to DR. I will be moving to La Romana in August on a 2 year teaching contract. I have been told that the school will pay an extra 20kg of baggage, which i thought would give me 60kg total-but was alarmed to be told that trans-atlantic flights have recently cut the baggage allowance to 20kg in line with European flights- Having read a number of related threads on here and tripadvisor I'm now worrying how I manage to bring my life in 2 suitcases-towels, sheets, pots, pans, knives, clothes, medicines, underwear! (not to mention shoes- I am a girl after all!) I was wondering whether it would be worthwhile having some stuff shipped over? Has anyone had stuff shipped from the UK before- and if so how reliable/expensive/promt is it? Ther are many things I can live without for a while, but two years...? Thanks. P .
