Mac spotted a website www.walkabouttravelgear.com that has a
lot of good travel tips. He says: they include using empty gatoraide
bottles for water instead of water bottles as the gatorade bottles are more
leak proof. Another suggestion was to put duct tape around a pencil to
carry duct tape that way and use less space. Someone suggested for both
men and women to wear silk pantyhose (maybe they did not have to be silk) for
warmth. Someone suggested silk clothes for warmth. Another
person suggested taking vitamin B pills or chewing garlic pills to ward off
mosquitoes bites. They don’t like the smell. Don’t use
perfumes on your hair etc to avoid mosquitoes. Someone suggested an all
purpose gel (for washing etc)
