Adding to the What to Bring list.
Put the teensiest bit of loktite on the screw, drive it in, then flex the hinges for several minutes until after the loktite has set.
Keychain bottle opener added to list..
That's the kind of crap they need to sell in the tourist shops. Something with Sosua printed on it for a couple bucks. Same goes for the beer cozies.
A small speaker for use with MP3 player or phone tunes, and one of those Lithium battery packs to recharge a phone with in case of apagones. Two sets of headphones and a splitter.
The gift shops in Bavaro sell fridge magnets that are also bottle openers. The decoration will probably fall apart after the second or third use, which means the "handle" will probably be useless. I bought one at Super Lama that has held up for over 6 months at this point. Corkscrew and bottle opener FTW!
I almost included a decent pillow on the list, but it takes up a lot of space. When the pillows suck (as they often do), I use a towel for a neck roll.
The solar phone chargers remind me some kind of surge protector is a must if you bring down a laptop. Lost a PDA about ten years back when the charger was fried and it was discontinued. I use the internet cafes myself..
Oh another thing, a dollar store tap light. When you're in a hotel room, the switches aren't always easy to find or near the bed and they work when there is an outage. A night light or two is nice if you have extra space.

Actually, I'll be bringing down a whole bunch of carpenters pencils and golf pencils for the kids and maybe a case of Composition books. Only fifty cents each now for the books.
