August 13
I finalized my packing: copies of forms for reports with paper sleeves for Tumbing E Chart and other eye testing papers; emergency contact information to the family; ATM and credit card notification that use would be in Guatemala; regulations for luggage verified; removal of my jewelry; and rereading of information from Restoring Vision, Timmy Global Health, Fulbright, and information about Guatemala.
I packed loose pants, boots, rain coat, rain poncho, umbrella, hand sanitizer, clothes donations (sweaters and jackets are popular), plug adaptor, small US money that is crisp, and enough clothes for nine days.
