What is in your travel kit? Please include photo ID #s if you upload any pictures of your travel kit or must have travel items.

Whether you've visited San Jose, Pattaya, Sousa, Angeles City, Medelline, Rio de Janeiro, Tijuana, Amsterdam, or any place else where our interests are well served.

You have undoubtedly learned there are a few items you must include in your Travel Kit. I think the general CRT membership would enjoy seeing a picture (please post picture ID) or at least getting a run-down of what you find to be an indispensable part of your endeavors. So my brothers, what is in your travel kit?

Lube, condoms, MP3 players, speakers, notepads, 4 band GSM phones, toothbrushes, gifts for the ladies, toys, candles, gum, breath mints, camera(s), massage oil, emergency cash, electrical converters/splitters, alcohol, etc?

Do tell....and if possible...do show (via picture ID #).

What's in your Travel Kit?

Since I have had the pleasure of meeting Maxbass I think its "ok" to post this .....this guy is either going to have the best trip ever in san jose or the biggest train wreck ever .....just like Rudy said " I been waiting for this all my life " he has been planning this trip for at least 5 months .....

Well, I guess that begs the question then...have you booked your flight? ChiliMike - you can say whatever you damn well please. The only thing I care about is if you will be there to witness this impending disaster you sense is in the making. I hope you & BWD come down so you don't have to hear second hand about the madness that will ensue.

And madness WILL ensue...

To get the conversation started (with much credit to our current Sousa resident extraordinary - GetRhythm), here is what's in my Travel Kit at the moment.

My kit -

::: Fluenz Spanish I DVD
::: Pimsleur Spanish I MP3
::: JBL On Stage Micro (speakers)
::: iPhone 2G (used soley as an MP3 player)
::: Febreeze Candles
::: Wet Light Liquid Lub (mini-packs)
::: Kodak zi-8
::: 3/1 Wall Socket splitter/adapter
::: Kama Sutra Massage Oil (Pleasure Island scent)
::: SmartMoney Clip
::: Pocket Rocket (following the lead of Don Gordo)
::: Trustex Condoms
::: Vitamin V (just in case)
::: Wellspring Flip Notes
::: TSA approved combination lock

I'd like some sensible gifts for the Ticas. Those Victoria Secret packs are $9 so why not just tip the Ticas $10? I'd prefer avoiding tips & instead give them something they would actually enjoy that's under $5. Something that will piss off the hard core business girls but satisfy the nicer girls. Any suggestions?

Morning after pill?

A small flashlight is useful.

Buy panties at Target - should be under $5.

Viagra and Cialis generic is cheaper and as good bought over the counter in most pharmacies in SJ.

Man Xman, you hit it. A Gringa friend once tore the towel rack of the Residence Inn's luxury suite in Charlotte during some extra-circular activities. Although, that may have required some joint compound, Spackle, & primer to fix. But the super glue idea is well advised. Although the war story was worth the damage fee paid to the Marriott.

Thanks.

in my return travel kit, there is always a purchased bottle of Diacort (or Hidrosin if visiting Colombia) since you cannot buy it here over the counter in the USA.



Diacort!

that shit works!

As an add-on to this, both are available as chewables (10-15 minute reaction time) or a gell you squirt into your mouth (near-instant on). If you can't score these in del Norte, talk to the cigar guy at the SL--he's there football days and for the Cialis, it's 10 for $25. He said it was OK to post this. Great cigars at good prices too.

I have found that the toilet paper in CR is pretty poor in quality. I always bring a couple of rolls of my favorite, soft TP. The girls seem to like it too.

sorry, but that got me laughing, ( although a very good suggestion, in Russia I think I used 24 g sand paper for tp)

Would this then be called the Al Bundy travel successor ?

i like to carry a flashlight....you never know when the lights might go out

I bring some money and some common sense. That's all you really need.

Good video but seemed aimed at backpackers. I'd like to see the equivalent for us somewhat more stylish men of leisure (that'd actually be easier for me as silk shirts pack tighter than cotton).
