Wild Biill sent us the following list of things to take to Panama. Does anybody think we need to add anything?

1. Flashlight or headlamp, preferably waterproof, with extra batteries.
2. Rainjacket or poncho.
3. Jungle boots or calf high rubber boots (Good hiking boots are not recommended although you may want to bring them for wear around the camp).
4. Sandals or flip flops.
5. Insect repellent, DEET is best. Do not bring aerosols because they will be confiscated by airport security.
6. Sunscreen
7. Cap or hat.
8. One set of going-to-town clothes (informal to very informal is OK).
9. Normal traveling clothes that you can also wear around Panama City.

17. Paper, pens, pencil.
18. Spare glasses or contacts, if you wear them.

25. Snorkle equipment if that floats your boat.
