  • 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?

  • @Roadlesstaken - 

    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.

  • @phantomFive - 

    (: 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
