Step 1
Obtain a passport well in advance of your trip. Processing of a standard US Passport application typically takes between four and six weeks. You can locate your nearest Passport Acceptance Facility by visiting the US Department of State's website.
Step 2
Exchange some of your money for Jamaican currency. A few small bills and change can be useful in getting from the airport to your final destination. US money is widely accepted in Jamaica, so you don't need much, but some might come in handy. (plus it's part of the fun in preparing for your trip)
Step 3
Take high-SPF sunscreen to protect against the strong sun in the Jamaica. A hat and sunglasses will help to shade your face. Also, don't forget shoes for the beach to protect your feet from uncomfortably hot sand and underwater sea urchins.
Step 4
Pack extra batteries for cameras and other electronic devices. While you might be able to purchase new batteries on the island, they can be difficult to find in more remote locations where you could find the most stunning shots. You can also pick up a solar charger for $30 from Amazon and be worry free.

Step 5
Pack plenty of lightweight clothing. Depending on where you go you might not need much in the way of formal clothing (think Hedonism). Most resorts in Jamaica are fairly casual, so think mens dress shorts and short sleeved button shirts for the guys and sexy summer dresses for the ladies. Check out the Barefoot Blog Store for ideas.
Step 6
Include at least two swimsuits if you plan to spend the majority of your time on the beach or participating in water activities. This will allow you to don a dry suit each day, while providing at least a day for the wet one to dry. An extra suit also will be handy in case one gets damaged. While beachwear can be purchased in Jamaica, you might not want to spend the time searching for a new suit, especially if you have a difficult time finding the right fit.

Step 7
Pack items necessary for any activities that you plan to participate in. This might include snorkeling gear for the clear waters and golf equipment for the challenging oceanfront golf courses throughout the island. Supplies for these activities also can be rented on site if you are not particular about having your own.
