The Packing List

We neglected to leave out of our last post what we are taking on our trip. What do you pack for 5 1/2 months, 10 countries and different clients?....as little as possible!

The original plan is that everyone will have one pack and carry one daypack for stuff such as ipods and reading materials (including homework...<wink>) for time spent during travel days in trains, planes and buses. The key is that we can all carry our own packs which I am assuming will come as a shock to Elyssa.

So as hard as it is to believe we are all packing similar items in our backpacks, the list is pretty much like this:

1 Pair Pants
Shirts (3 T-Shirts, 1 Long Sleeve Shirt)
2-3 Pair Shorts
1-2 Trunks/Bathing Suits
Socks/Undies
2 Pairs Shoes (flip flops and runners)
1 Rain Poncho
1 Jacket
1 Pair Pyjamas
Hat
Sunglasses

In addition to our clothes and toiletries, we will have the following random supplies:
Ipad
Ipods
Camera
Sink Stopper
Pocket Knife/Tool
Big Bag O' Medications (just in case) / Prescriptions (malaria, altitude sickness)
Bandaids/Moleskin
Deck of Cards
Tennis Ball
Earplugs
Flashlight
Insect Repellant
Sunscreen
2 Travel Towels
Hand Wipes

I am sure we will need to add to the inventory as we go but hopefully this will get a start on it and we will see how everyone adapts.

Bye for now!
