Just saying my farewells as I'm off on a buisness trip to the Carribbean.
I'll be in Trinidad from Mon-Fri, St. Lucia Sat. - Wed. and Jamaica Thurs-Sat. Going to attend a workshop and then do some some site visits for a bunch of labs. Hopefully I'll get a little bit of walking, scenery and swimming to enjoy while I'm there.

So what knives am I bringing - None :eek::eek::eek:
I just have way too many airplane island hops through this trip and will be with colleagues so I need to keep all my bagage as carry-on. I do have a first aid kit/PSK with the following items:

Non-prescription drugs - Imodium, gravol, antihistimine
Water treatment tablets - chlorine dioxide
First aid kit (minus scalpel and tweezers)
Firesteel and piece of fatwood (scraper will have to be improvised)
Paracord - 10'
Electrical tape
Compass/whistle
Mini-maglite

I'll keep my eye out for a machete in Jamaica and will take lots of pictures!
 
Even though its a business trip, sounds like a nice one :D

Have a good time. :thumbup:
 
aaahh man.. i would be bummed to have to go to the carribean on a buisness trip...:D our friend use to work for a travel agency and she used to go to the carribean all the time...

have a good time...:thumbup:
 
Good luck kgd.

I may be wrong, but I thought I heard that firesteels are not allowed in carry-on. I don't know for certain as I don't fly often.

Regardless, have a good trip.

I've slipped them by security in the past. If I lose it though no biggie, I'll probably just pick up a bic on site and toss it when I island hop again. I'm sure I'll be able to find something to cut with in Trinidad as I'll be there a week.

Thanks for the bon voyage notes guys. All packed now.
 
KGD,

Have a great trip... The last company I worked for owned a bauxite refinery on St. Croix, I used have to go there about once a month. I loved the place. but some areas were very rough. Make sure you are aware of your surroundings. Drink some rum (the Painkiller is a great drink!).
