CEFS in Uruguay

Packing list for Uruguay

When we were in Uruguay last March, a few us had come up with a suggested list of items (in no special order) that would be helpful on the course. I added some things I also recommend to students in my study abroad course, so not everything might apply here. I wanted to share this with all of you as we prepare this weekend.

towel- the camping, quick dry type

flash light

flip flops
universal plug adapter
field notebook and pen

work boots or shoes
rain jacket or umbrella
mosquito repellent

water bottle

Imodium (because you just never know)

your business card if you have one

copy of your passport in a different place than your passport

a few field pants and shirts

at least one nice city outfit

light jacket

hat or scarf

alarm clock/watch

pocket size Spanish English dictionary

camera

Day pack or to carry camera, poncho, etc

Ziploc bags (a personal favorite, never travel without a few)

Any prescription meds or vitamins

small first aid packet (I always bring this because of little ones)

A list of "in case of contacts" including their name, phone, FAX or email

Snacks

Suerte y nos vemos viernes!

Welcome to the Uruguay blog

Hi everyone,

I created this blog -- hosted by NCSU Libraries -- to provide a place to post information from and about the Center for Environmental Farming Systems' Uruguay trip, Dec. 7-17, 2007. Anyone can post comments to the site, but it would be great to have some additional contributors to post news of our travels and photos from the trip. If you would be willing to be an "author," please send me an email and I'll "invite" you to join. This can be a fun way to keep record of our trip, and if we are able to post while we travel, to keep those at home informed as well.

For more information on the trip, visit the CEFS Uruguay Web page.

If you're new to blogs, learn more at the library's Wolfblogs site.
