Project Costa Rica

[deecee]

My packing list includes a mosquito net. I have received conflicting information from two different people at gap and was wondering if someone who has actually been on the trip could give me a definitive response. Do I need a mosquito net that goes over my hat to cover my head or do I need one to hang over my bed while sleeping? Thanks in advance for advice/assistance.

I'd have thought it to be more for sleeping under.

Anyway, take a sleeping net and duct tape....so you can cut it down and stick it around your head if you don't need it for sleeping.

Never travel without duct tape ....comes in handy for so many things.Had a torn travel bag last trip and had to use it.
Hope you enjoy the turtle project deecee.Often looked at that trip for whenever we get across to Central America.
Take plenty of insect repellent.Sounds like you're going to need it.
