Miscellaneous: Everyone should take the necessary steps to prevent malaria. I however did not. I used repellent with Deet however, I received an insect bite on my last day. I had to have unnecessary blood work done when I returned home to confirm I did not contract anything. Save yourself the worry and prepare in advance if at all possible.

Luggage and bags: Don't accept help from somebody, because they ask you money

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Comfortable shoes and clothes are required if you don't want to suffer due to the warm

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Mosquito Repellent is expensive, don't forget it!
Yellow vaccine is import and paludism treatment!
