Haiti
I'm scheduled to go to Haiti next month for business (50/50 chance, at this point). Have any dwellars been there? Do you have any good survival tips?
I'll mostly be in Port Au Prince (PaP) and surrounding environs. I plan to take several energy bars and some powdered water. |

When my mom worked at the clinic, her nurse friend had been there to volunteer. All I know is that mom says D says she stepped off the plane and looked around and wondered what she'd gotten herself into. But a good experience overall I think. so I'm not much help but I'll start taking donations for powdered water.

I might watch some other Haiti documentaries to learn more about the country before I go. |

Don't have any identification or money on you.
Don't give anything to anyone, no matter how much you may feel compelled to do so. My father was there a few years ago. He had a very interesting experience. |

Why no identification? How will they identify the body?

Last night I watched The Serpent and the Rainbow. Now I know what to expect.
