Today I found the most awesome Peace Corps reference EVER! It is www.peacecorpswiki.org. The best thing about it is the various packing lists for each country PC serves. They are lists made by current and returned volunteers about what they recommend and don't recommend...best resource I have found yet!
I've been reading all the West Africa ones, and it's been very helpful, especially for questions like "do I bring my laptop and my digital camera?" Much better resource than most RPCVs I know, as most of them served ten years ago or longer. Great info!
