Hi Betty. I went to Margarita about 4 years ago. The only problem I
     found was getting a real salad with iceberg lettuce and a decent baked
     potato (even the potato at the Hilton was icky). Don't miss Playa el
     Agua - it's really pretty. I found some nice shells near Punta Arenas.

Hola Betty:
 
You are going to a beautiful place with 110V electricity and the same plug-ins
as in USA; you are going to be able to dry yous hair; the water shortage has
gone and, with it, the electrical cuts; you have 24 hours/day of drying time.
There are lots of shells. You also can find sun-tan that you will need because
the sun is beautiful.
 
I am going there in June and I am trying to find a bearddrier because how I
will look like if I have to spend 5 days in the water without a bearddrier (it
is a joke)
 
I would appreciate that, in due time, you comment about your trip and the best
collecting places that you found.
 
Saludos y que todo te vaya bien
Emilio
