Travel tips!

Hello everyone! 

So, with our trip departing in a couple days I feel that it is important that I at least put up some quick reminders on travel preparation. 


1) Shoes 
sneakers 
shoes for clinic
hiking shoes

2) Clothing
white coat/"dressy" clothes for clinical
outdoor clothes for hiking & swimming
jeans/sweater for the cooler nights

3) Toiletries 
toothbrush
toothpaste
floss
deodorant

4) Medicines
Scopolamine Patch if your at risk for getting motion sick
Ciprofloxacin if a stomach bug hits you
NSAID of your choice in case of headaches

5) Misc
Camera + Underwater disposable camera (optional, can get for roughly $20 at a drugstore)
Sunscreen
Bug Spray
Passport + Paper copy of your passport 
Sunglasses
Phone cards for calling (advise using skype if you have it for free phone calls)
Ipod/Mp3 for the flight
Laptop + Powercharger
Camera batteries + battery charger
Backpack for hiking

6) Dominica Supplies
Books
Diapers 
Presentation/informational material. 


In regards to traveling!
Make sure your at the airport at least 2 hours early, so for us that means between (6:00-6:15 AM)
Make sure your never alone! *buddy system*
Make sure never to accept packages from strangers! This is self explanatory, but people have done this before. 

So with that, I look forward to seeing everyone this Thursday. Enjoy and prepare early so your not stressing out. 

Also feel free to comment and add additional things that we should consider bringing down!
