are very nice and can keep you clean for many days. These can be purchased at most pharmacies but also places like Target and Walmart usually have them. The first night when we stay in Port-au-Prince there is enough water for everyone to shower.
Money – some of these are not for sure so I put a range to give you an idea
Extra check bag at airport $40
Room and Board
$40 per night usually only 1st night in Port-au-Prince (cash)
$150 for complete stay in Gandou (cash or check, we may start collecting this before the trip).
Tips for airport and cooks – usually about $10 (cash)
Translators – usually about $150-250 (cash)
Truck – usually $200-250 (cash or check typically to the Rennekamps because we put these trucks on our credit card)
Souvenirs – there are some crafty souvenirs at the guest house in Port-au-Prince and also at the airport on the way home. There is also paintings, coffee, and rum.
Food – at the airport on the way down and back up
Hotel in Miami – Cost depends on how many people per room. Typically like $40.
Emergency money – I always bring a little just in case money but have never needed it
Below is some information I have copied from the American Airlines website.
FAA security measures limit customers on all AA flights to one carry-on bag plus one personal item.
All carry-on pieces, including laptops, must fit either underneath the seat in front of you or in an overhead bin.
The one carry-on bag must fit in an overhead compartment or under the seat. It should not exceed 45 linear inches (length + width + height) or weigh more than 40 lbs/18 kgs. (Note added by Rennekamps Our experience is they let you get by with something that is a little bigger than this, and we have never seen anyone ever check the weight of your carry-on item, but it probably should not be grossly more than this. When we have our packing meeting together I will show you the kind of bag we have been using for years so you have an idea.)
Carry-on items which appear too large or irregularly shaped to fit under a seat, in an overhead compartment, or in a closet will not be accepted as carry-on baggage and will need to be checked.
At times, additional limits may be placed on carry-on baggage based on the main cabin stowage capacity of specific aircraft.
These limits may be imposed after the boarding process has begun.
Some carry-on baggage may be stowed in a cargo compartment on selected American Eagle aircraft.
At some airports, carry-on baggage may be more restricted. All other luggage must be checked at curbside or at the ticket counter.
Passengers exceeding the carry-on limit will not be allowed through the security checkpoint.
All portable electronic devices, including laptops, must remain off during taxi, takeoff, approach and landing until we arrive at the gate and the seat belt sign is turned off.
One bag carry-on. No charge
Two bags checked first bag is no charge second is $40.
45 in/114 cm (carry-on)
62 in/157 cm (checked) 40 lbs/18 kgs. (carry-on)
