not that one has to plan their entire trip in advance, especially when travelling for more than a week, but can i remind you that it’s a little difficult (if not impossible) to make plans on the fly when nowhere you stay has a telephone, much less a fax machine or internet access?
on the other hand, in the rainforest you get the strangest solutions to your technology problems. it turns out if we had brought our cellphones, we would have gotten a signal out here, making our planning much easier. and at the delfin amor eco lodge, the nutty former professional ballroom dancer now real estate agent/frequent osa peninsula vacationer had a sony t-1 digicam: i asked to borrow her battery charger, and while my battery didn’t actually fit in correctly, i was able to jury rig something using a hair tie. now my battery is recharged!
speaking of jury rigging, i do like hmc’s laundry washing trick: if the sink has no stopper, just lay a plastic bag over the hole and do your washing on top. it’s not perfect, but much better than letting your detergent repeatedly go down the drain.
