What are the things I use the most that I did bring?

  1. Baby Wipes!
  2. My little extra hair clips. I have been surprised at how many of these I have gone through on this trip.
  3. Zip Lock baggies
  4. My Water bottle.
  5. The clothes of course... :grin:
  6. my iPod- with it's calculator / money converter/ music/ etc.
  7. I am using a bit more medicine than I thought I would need.
  8. my bag/purse
  9. My camera of course. I expected that (right up there with the clothes)
  10. Scissors! I have used these on so many random things!
  11. Laptop and phone.

What are the things that I brought that I haven't used much yet?
  1. Conditioner- It's really hard to get it out, and it's not really needed here. I used it like once.
  2. Lotion- :grin: this came in handy only once so far- when I was sunburned.
  3. Chapstick
  4. My backpack.
  5. My socks and tennis shoes... Mainly because they are so hot! I have worn them maybe twice so far.
  6. The flashlight.
  7. Batteries. :grin:

What I have learned about Haiti

  1. The trucks they transport people in are called tap-taps... because when the people want out, they tap-tap on the side of the truck to let the driver know.
  2. there are a total of like 3 ATM's in the country, and the one that we stopped at today I was told is not in working order normally.
  3. Stuff that doesn't get eaten the first day or so, goes stale REALLY really quickly, especially if it's not closed very well. :grin:
  4. Frozen chips are actually really good! (byproduct of the last one... :grin:)
  5. It is cheaper for me to call out of Haiti, than for people to call in. :grin: (So, if you want me to call you, you can donate some money to my trip, and I will use that money to buy a phone card and call you! :grin: Just be sure to include in the comments what number you want me to call! It costs about 2.50 for 20 minutes.)
