Michael123 - we will be in the jungle just 2 days. 12year, older, older, older. It is our first time to Belize. We will be in AC the rest of the time. Any clothing, bug spray (or anything else) recommendations?

Just like most have said, 30 deet for the kids and 100 for yourself. You might get by with just 30 for everyone, personally I got bit twice as bad on AC as I did in the jungle, and you never see what gets you!!

Long lightweight pants and hiking shoes if you are hiking (there are alot of different activities in the jungle).

I only got bit by a doctor (horse) fly a couple times and army ants once (those really hurt). Skeeters were not much of a problem.

hope this helps.

my son stepped on a red ant the first night...so watch your ffet. but i agree with mike, bugs were far worse on AC than cayo in june too.

mike, if you get a photo editor (like i just did) you can take your shots & do thios with them:

I do run the picture through the olympus photo editor, Camedia is the name of the package. Though I make no elaborate changes to the pictures I clean them up, crop, and zoom in on some of them. What photo Editor are you using?

Thanks,
Mike

hey, i used to use camedia too...i have the olympus c-700 camera. the camedia failed upon my return from bz, and i could not get a lot of my pics up. so i bought photosuite 4 platinum. it was only $50, where photoshop was $500.

i found this site to help me figure out what photographers think is a "good pic": http://www.dpreview.com/forums/forum.asp?forum=1008
