Packing List

by DanEnslow

Carying a guitar, I have to go super-lite on everything else. No preocupes, you can get one-day laundry service, and you can be a bit dirty, just like camping.I resisted getting an umbrella, but finally gave in. I got one there for $2. Clothes are very inexpensive, because they make a lot of it in San Pedro for export to US. Take enuf film. OK, this is different. I believe in being prepared to do simple repairs. This little tool kit weighs about 1 lb, including the canvas bag. The real weight-saver is the 6.5' channellock. It is strong enough to tighten bicycle seat post or wheel nuts, but weighs nearly nothing. Add a compact screw driver, small knife, tube patch kit, hex wrenches 5,6, and 7 mm for bicycles, some waterproof glue, and some tape.On this trip I repaired a shower head, sinking bike seat, a lavatory faucet, and my umbrella after dashing into a guy wire in a heavy rain.

Packing List

Take a backpack preferably with some sort of day pack and a drink bottle holder. Light clothing.....100% cotton is best and a sweater and light rain jacket for the colder nights. Doesn't get that cold though about 15 degrees celsius is the lowest. Take all required medicines or at least find out their generic name before you go. Many american brands are available so it is helpful to know these too. Film for cameras is expensive to buy in Honduras so try to bring your own if you are planning to take a lot of photos. As for getting photos developed if you can take them back home undeveloped do so but be careful in case they get damaged somehow. If you are spending a long time travelling then get them done in Honduras. As for most countries when camping be aware of insects like scorpions and red ants. Red ants aren't too bad but they itch like mad if you get bitten repeatedly as I have...

Duffels with wheels on one end work especially well and always plan on 1 day of clothing in your carry-on. Be sure to pack the contents of your luggage within large plastic bags to protect from wet weather or when traveling by boat. Casual clothing will work for most situations, but I like to have 'real' shoes (not sneakers) for nicer restaurants. You may want to bring rain gear or an umbrella in November/December/January, because when it rains, there can be a DOWNPOUR. Be sure to use DEET containing insect repellent for sand flea regions (almost every place that I've been), including cities). Like mosquitoes, they are worse during early morning and evening hours. Although insect repellent and sunscreen are both available there, the cost is more than you may want to pay. Also, I suggest that you ask your medicall provider for a recommendation for antidiarrhea meds. If you eat and drink...

Take a backpack and an old one Hiking As I went to Utila, a lot of sunblock is needed before getting into the ferry.
