Find out how often you can wash your clothes. Then pack lightly with the fewest outfits you need. Get interchangeable outfits - ie a black and a white cardigan, 5 difft colored tanks and a couple tops, and a few different bottoms will be all you need if you can wash your clothes. You don't want to be lugging clothing all over the world (literally). I'm the queen of light packing...even consider your PJs...get the thinnest/lightest you can to save space, or sleep in the buff.

I need to take up your packing style. I've got a medium sized pack which is all i'm bringing and I definitely want room to take things home so my goal is to only fill half of it... :eek: i'll have to check into how often/if we'll be able to wash clothes. thanks!

Midnight Run is not really the type of movie that would scare the crap out of you unless comedies about accountants are scary. Midnight Express on the other hand.....


Have an amazing (and safe) trip!

He was there for a month in 2009. He has a wonderful library of photographs that he has taken over the years. He was lucky enough to be able to travel to some wonderful places and he knew what he was doing behind the lens as well.

Truth. Beautiful photos.
