Packing for this round-the-world trip was daunting to say the least. What do you pack for 60 days that can fit into a single backpack? What do you pack that works in every climate your visiting? We think we did a pretty good job on packing and can now recommend what to pack for this type of trip. Below is what we didn't need, what came in handy and what we couldn't live without.
What we couldn't live without:
1) Dry-wick clothing
2) 40% DEET inset repellent cream
3) Back-up camera (our first camera broke in Hawaii and wasn't repaired until we returned to the U.S.)
4) Benadryl
5) Imodium
6) Laptop
7) Passport holder that we wore under our clothes
8) Our luggage with the zip-off backpacks
9) UV-light toothbrush sanitizing cases
10) Travel toilet paper
What came in handy:
1) Silk sleeping bag
2) Travel-sized laundry detergent
3) zip-off pants
4) Blackberry (with international service)
5) Jewelry (for Kate to turn her travel clothes into an outfit for a nice dinner out)
What we didn't need/use:
1) clothing line
2) Ponchos (we opted for umbrellas instead)
3) Dry wick towel
4) Toilet seat covers
5) Shampoo & body wash (hotels and hostels provided these)
I love it! So cute and so helpful! Now, if only I could travel the world for 60 days... Maybe when the kids graduate from high school...? Big hugs to you two!
