Caribbean ↗Several islands (Turks and Caicos above all, also the Bahamas and Jamaica) jail visitors for a single stray bullet or cartridge in their luggage; empty every bag and pocket before you pack.
Caribbean ↗From August to October keep a free last day before your flight home and check the national hurricane centre daily; airports close when a named storm approaches.
Caribbean ↗Wearing camouflage clothing is illegal for civilians in several islands, including Barbados, Antigua, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, Grenada, Dominica, Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica; leave it at home, children's clothes included.
Puerto Rico ↗Entry follows US rules: international visitors need a US visa or ESTA as for the mainland, and US citizens need no passport from the mainland.
Puerto Rico ↗Road distances are signed in kilometres but speed limits are in miles per hour; fuel is sold by the litre.
Puerto Rico ↗Ferries to Vieques and Culebra sell out and are often disrupted: book ahead and have a small-plane backup.
Puerto Rico ↗El Yunque National Forest uses timed-entry reservations for the main road (PR-191) at busy times: book on recreation.gov before you drive — check current rules.
San Juan area ↗Hurricane season runs June to November: keep flights and hotels flexible and follow official advice.
San Juan ↗Old San Juan's blue cobblestones are slippery when wet and heavy for bags: rolling suitcases go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
San Juan ↗Hurricane season runs June to November, peaking August to October: check the National Hurricane Center outlook, keep flights flexible, and follow official advice.
