With lots of bug spray, bring cortaid or any maximum strength anti-itch cream. You'll be glad you did.

zip locs are a must, gallon size best. use for last day wet clothes, cameras, seashells (they get smelly), sandy watershoes, and rum&hot sauce. mine opened in the suitcase, no problem!! bring deep woods bug spray, and BENEDRYL CREAM. stopps the itch. bring waterproof band aids, and neosporin. spf 45 and 15, 8 if youre brave. snacks that dont melt are nice to have. extra t shirts for snorkeling...dont burn your back! have fun.

I would ditto the benadryl for bites...incessant itching!!!! I always
pack my clothes into large plastic bags...
because once at the Belize Int'l Airport,
the bags sat in the rain (soft luggage) and
things got wet INSIDE THE BAG..yuk..

We put all our clothes, folded real small, into various sizes of Ziplocs, sat on them to remove excess air, and then closed the baggies. Saved a lot of space! 5 T-shirts fit into Lg baggie, etc. One Step hand sanitizer! Cleans your hands without water.
Benedryl tablets for any allergic reactions, Imodium, Chloroquine, and make sure all your vaccinations are up to date.
Have fun!

Great info. I'll be using this soon myself.

Thx for bringing this back to the top.. two weeks tomorrow, I will be winging my way there for 19 glorious days!!!! can't wait. Every trip I take I usually "forget" something so this is an excellant reminder. Cheers

put your shampoo and conditioner in a seperate plastic baggie--on like, 4 trips before I forgot to and they opened all over my clothes-yuck! Basically put anything that opens like that in it's own baggie

Elwe, Here's that second post I mentioned. To the top for all of you lucky people who are getting ready to leave for a fantastic vacations! I'm jealous!
