This is what packing for a year away produces - an overwhelming mess. I wasn't even really sure where to start, thinking I'll never need this, I'll maybe need this, I could use a lot of that, what if this just sits and takes up space. It's not like I'll never be able to use or see this stuff again, but its not like I'll be able pick up the same thing while I'm overseas either. I have a feeling my luggage isn't going to be perfect. I just hate asking myself, "Why did I bring this and not that?" Drives me nuts I tell ya. I'm almost there though. Its taking me a couple of trial runs and weigh-ins, and conversations with other people but I should be pretty good. So what do you for sure take with you when you're moving away for a year?
1.a stack of t-shirts, a couple stylish but mainly ones you don't mind sweating in, or staining or ripping holes in the armpits.
2. pants of various color and thickness for all seasons.
3. at least two pair of good tennis shoes, in case you need to book it across the border.
4. a sweat shirt and and two sweaters
5. you're camera and journal for obvious documentation.
6. for the Asia region, a waterproof jacket or poncho as there's a rainy season.
7. I Love Lucy DVDs for those long flights.
