Hi Deb: Are you ready for heaven??? No travelers runs, just got alittle sick from the plane, not sure if it was the airline food, felt like crap for acouple of days. Not one misquito. You HAVE to go on the Monster truck tour. The guides fight over who get the truck with Americans or Candians, they are so much fun. They say we are most friendly!! Bring small toys, pencils or candy for the kids you'll see. Please don't throw them to the kids while the truck in moving because they will run after the trucks. This is the best way to see the country. We didn't swim in the river (my doctors advise) We saw a school, voodoo doctors office, a grocery store, cheese factory, a home and lots in between. The lunch they serve you is the best. The people are sooo friendly there. Alot of proverty, but they are happy, always singing and dancing. The sun is hot on the trip, wear a hat, lots of sunscreen, and no contact lenses because of the dust. I had a pack of wet ones and chapstick, we used it. There are outhouses provided along the way, they were very clean. They provide beer, water, rum & coke or pop on the trucks. They sell hats on the trip, I think they were $13.00. Cathy
