There are far nicer places to visit, but if your heart is
still set on the idea I'd recomend a 'Virtual Reality'
headset; that way you won't have to look at the place...
Take a mask and snorkle if you intend to snorkle. Fins are
very helpful if you snorkle off Sulawesi, Flores, or other
outer islands due to stronger currents.
In no particular order, but I would suggest you take the
following:
Your own snorkelling gear including fins especially if you
intend to do alot of diving or snorkelling.
Sunblock,and plenty of it.
Insect repellant, depending on where you're at but I found
it necessary at night and wouldn't leave with out putting
it on; a small medical kit including some anti diahrea
pills; a course of antibiotics (just in case)
a calculator, really handy for working out exchange rates;
coolers for the beer bottle or can;
A couple of good books and/or magazines that you'd be happy
to leave behind.
If you can afford the space in your bag or pack and do
intend to spend alot of time either at the beach or diving
your own decent sized beach towel is great to have.
If you're taking a video camera or electrical type appliance
and want to use it over there take a power adaptor.
Always very handy to have is a flashlight(torch).
And if you're intending to stay in one place long enough to
get to know a few locals they will just love any old clothes
from home, so fill up your suitcase or pack with a bundle of
kids and assorted second hand clothing. You'll be a huge
hit and once you've removed them you've got plenty of room
to put in all the shopping you want to bring back.
I can't stress enough clothing wise take hardly anything!
Hope this is helpful. I've been there 4 times now and still
take too much Much of what I take never comes out of the
bag!
