It contains band aids, neosporan, burn cream, tylenol, etc. We also take Liquid Imodium and Emetrol. 4. Bug Repellant. Those little gnats will getcha at sunset in most tropical regions. 5. "Wine Away" red wine stain remover, very small portable spray bottle. It's Magic!!!! 6. Small bottle of Fabreze 7. Extra Hair Pins 8. Altoids 9. Super Glue 10. Handkerchiefs for the guys. Classier for dabbing their brows due to tropical humidity/heat So that's what's in our bag of tricks. Hope it helps.

For my "chub rubs" I always pack Vaseline. Thin layer on my thighs works great under dress, shorts, whatever! Plus Vaseline is great to use on my lips at night (sun is always drying my lips out) AND if you really have some foot damage from sand, walking rub vaseline on your feet and cover with socks over night.

Speaking of Vaseline, I just ordered something called Body Glide (I'm pretty sure I read about it on here) that is supposed to be fantastic for chub rub, blisters, etc. Anyone else use this product? It got great reviews on amazon.

Body Glide is the best! Use it on your feet too if you are going for a hike or anything. It rocks!

I wish I had remembered to pack a few small sharpie markers. It was on my list, but I forgot them. They were going to be for people to write their names on their cups from us. Oh well... they managed.

I haven't had to pack my bag quite yet but have a review about BODY GLIDE! It's amazing! I used it during my Running Clinic and my instructor told us about the great benefits for Chub Rub...I've also used it on my feet with new shoes...NO BLISTERS! You can pick it up at any Running Room location!

I stayed in Higuey city (40 minutes SW of PC and inland). It was hot and within 3 days I had a heat rash under my arms. I bought Body Glide and the next 2 times in the city, I never had a problem
