Peruvian adventure
Tomorrow I will be embarking on an adventure to Peru!
There, I will be hiking with my family to see the Incan ruins & a few other things.
I should have internet connection every once in a while there, so perhaps I can post pictures (depending on internet speed, and whether or not there are card readers, etc.).I packed the First Aid kit, which contains
- Band-aids® of various sizes
- Neosporin®
- Q-tips®, cotton balls, cotton pads
- Vinyl & latex gloves
- Sewing kit (needles, small scissors, thread, etc.)
- Tweezers
- Things for blisters
- Alcohol preps
- Pillssss (Ibuprofen, Claritin, Immodium, Peptobismol)
- Insect bite relief stuff
I'm not really sure what else to pack. I can't fit much more in that box, but I have packed additionally small vats of Vaseline (chapped lips, face, etc.!), baby powder (apparently deodorant is discouraged since it attracts mosquitoes), aloe vera gel (high altitude = greater UV exposure), insect repellent wipes. Any ideas?

seems like you got most stuff covered. How long you're there for?

Approximately two weeks! (: Glad you did your XTV before I left (:
Wow, awesome! *Jealous* If it isn't too much trouble, add water purification tablets, and maybe even water. You can live through any other problem as long as you have water.

(: Yes, thanks (the Xangan, fauquet, just recently had a post on water actually ^^)! I got one of those pill boxes that sorts the number of pills for Sunday->Saturday and left the last one for water tablets! We lost ours, so we figured we'd just buy them there (ordering online would take too long).
If you can't find them, bleach works too....like two or three drops per gallon
