The Bare Necessities

by Sheilakee

Think small and waterproof - you'll be climbing in and out of boats and ferrys and it may be raining Water shoes (the coral is killer) are a must. Ours were croc-like slip-ons that were so bouyant they doubled as snorkeling aids! For travel to and from the island, sneakers or other light, quick-drying non-skid shoes would be a good idea skin-so-soft and benadryl are a must as some people react badly to sand fleas; as well as sunscreen. We were on a remote island so we also had a full first aid kit just in case. Our disposable water proof camera was kind of disappointing MOSQUITO NETTING! If you bring nothing else, you'll be glad you had this! We also each brought a small light sheet to cover up out of the water during the heat of the day as well as a big hat.SNORKEL GEAR we are not big time snorkelers and we brought cheap drug store masks and pipes that worked great! If you're only...

Summer Packing

by ashley05p

Travelling by bus is difficult with large bags and suitcases so a medium-sized internal frame backpack works well. Depending on what you are doing, all you may need are hiking boots or tennis shoes and sandals. People generally do not wear shorts, so unless you want to stick out more than you already will, don't bring shorts (it is ok for places like the bay islands though). Sun screen, feminine products (it is almost impossible to find tampons), hand sanitizer (many of the bathrooms have no soap), a travel pack of toilet paper, immodium, motion sickness pills (if you will be travelling by bus) Quick-drying towels are easy to pack but really don't try too fast. If you are constantly going to be on the go, I wouldn't recommend bringing one because they get mildewy and start to smell! Sunglasses (to keep dust out of your eyes)

EXOTIC LOCATION

by kiwigal_1

Honduras is certainly an 'off the beaten track' kind of place to travel in but to have lived there for over a year was certainly an experience I am unlikely ever to forget. For both my trips to Honduras I actually lugged a suitcase across the country! It is possible but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. With the amount of bus travel necessary a good backpack and daypack are essential. Make sure that all luggage is well labelled and locked. Honduras is a tropical country and so light, cool clothes are essential in the humid cities and beach areas. However, if you are going to be spending any time in the mountainous interior then pants and a sweater will be necessary. Travel lightly but practically. Most things can be bought in Honduras. I would recommend bringing any favourites or 'can't live withouts' with you as imported goods are more expensive. Insect repellant and sunblock are...

Flea collars for humans

by epicult

Some people (like my brother) are extremely sensitive to sand fly bites. So much so that they quickly turn from itchy bites to puss oozing infections that can swell your entire ankle and foot to the point that you require medical attention.So, if you don't want to be eaten alive by sand flies while visiting the Bay Islands, buy some flea collars (the black, non-stinky ones), put them around your ankles and wear them while you're out and about. Sounds wierd but they keep the flies at bay, while you play. Also, I've found that after being bitten by these little creatures, it's good to stay clear of saltwater all together. It seems to infect the bites even more for some reason... No scientific backing here, just an observance made by myself and a few others ;-)

Batteries and Film are expensive

by dawnpaz2000

If your backpacking or here to travel, bring a good water resistant backpack. Don´t bring a piece of luggage that has wheels. Depending on the season and where your going bring shorts, swimsuit, short sleeve shirts, good walking/hiking boots, sandals for the beach, 1-2 long sleeve shirt and pants, a good water resisitant jacket If your out in the mountains or on the beach always bring repellent and sun screen. A good water bottle is important too. If you have a First Aid Box, that´s good too because a hospital, clinic, etc. may not be nearby. NOTE: ALWAYS BRING TOILET PAPER IF YOUR GOING OUT OF TOWN OR EVEN INTOWN. NOT ALL RESTERAUNTS HAVE THERE OWN TOILET PAPER! of course your own shampoo and soap is good too, but you can buy those things in the towns. If your on special medication, bring extra. Honduras Pharmacy´s may not always have what your looking for. Bring plenty of film and...

Insect Repellent and Anti Itch Cream

by tampa_shawn

It rains daily for part of the year so remember a rain jacket....I would also recommend long sleve shirt and pants to help protect you from sand flees Bring what you'll need for the trip. Film and processing is very expensive here. Bug repellent and anti itch cream is a must. Don't let sand fleas ruin your trip!

Packing List

Okay, so you don't want to look like a tourist. First of all change your attitude. Don't feel sorry for the poor, as pity is very obvious, showing that since you have pity, you must know better, therefore you have money. For your luggage, don't bring your new North Face bag and fancy rolling suitcases. You want to fit in? Try a cardboard box. No joke. Again, you want to fit in? No colorful clothing. No bright, flowery junk, no gold necklaces. For your new line of travel apparel, try on some old shorts, a beat-up T-shirt, torn jeans, old shoes... Sipro, Neutralizer of the Stomach!Iodine tablets.Cheesecake. Simple is better, unless you are a true photographer, who, like myself, doesn't mind carrying the extra weight of four lenses, two polarizers, a flash unit, tripod (small and large), effect lenses, film bags, a cleaning kit, a sink from the kitchen, and your mother-in-law....

Packing List

by smesser

An oversize back pack works best - you can pretty much keep the main essentials with you at all times and not draw attention to money and valuables. Comfortable tennis shoes. I don't suggest open toe sandals because there are scorpions and large spiders in this area.Light colored clothing if traveling during February - the average temperature was 113 degrees while we were there and the sun is very hot. Take your own toliet paper - this is a very scarce commodity there - even at the air port. - Depending on the type of trip you are taking - if you are going to be in close contact with the village people you may want to take along an application of Lice shampoo to use prior to returning home. Most of the villages do not have electricity or running water - we stayed 2 nights in the capital city of Tegucigelpa - we had running water, even hot water - but you must be very careful not the...
