There are a number of things we recommend you leave at home. Some of these are just items that are relatively inexpensive here, or just inconvenient to bring.

Unfortunately, most of us travel by bringing more of what we don't need and not enough of what we do. Here are a few things to think about...

Don't bring many books since there are plenty of books circulating among the SO's. There is an SO library at the GAP house that SO's can raid when they get the urge.

Don't bring any spices unless you must have something very specific and rare. Spices are one of the few things that are cheaper in Grenada than in the States.

Don't bring a microwave or TV unless you want to pay a fortune in duty (usually more than what the item was originally worth). Other students and SO's are constantly selling their items and although these things may be very expensive, they will probably be cheaper than bringing them. Not only that, but your apartment may come with these amenities already.
