After reading review after review and lots of recommendations about being safe etc. It seems it is not advisable to bring along a purse or backpack while touring the island because it invites theives. Can any of you recommend a way to carry around my sons epi pen? I am talking about when we walk to area restaurants at night.

2. Do I really need to rent beach chairs and umbrella to carry around with us from beach to beach? Do most beaches offer some sort of shade? Do I need to worry that the beach chairs and umbrella will be stolen out of the trunk of the rental car? I know you may all think these are stupid questions but that is what you are all here for right? To guide us newbies wink Thanks in advance!
