I'll be moving to Sosua from UK next week and, as usual, have left everything till the last minute (manana's always been the name of the game for me, no matter where I've lived....).
Anyway, I'll be going on a last shopping trip this weekend and I just wondered if all you `old timers' had any thoughts on what you would buy if you could be `zapped' back to your home countries for a day. I don't want to arrive and find that there's something simple that I could have picked up at home that's impossible to find in the DR. Obviously, following advice on this board, if it doesn't fit into a suitcase it's not coming....:glasses:
Just an idea of the sort of stuff I'm bringing that either don't think (or know I won't) be able to source in DR: All my cookbooks (I love cooking and entertaining) and personal reading material, lots of children's books and classic literature (I want my girls to be beach babes, but not illiterate ones...), white crisp Egyptian cotton bedlinen from John Lewis (might seem precious but it's always been my thing).
Any other suggestions welcome.....x
