Packing List

After consulting Jono and Sophie about packing, I have decided to pack absurdly light category.

  • Pack: Lowe, light blue. Purchased at REI: Seattle in 1985 by my dad. Has slightly more capacity a day pack.
  • Camera: Canon Powershot 540, no stories.
  • Journal 8.5"x6.5" Black n' Red 24lb notebook. Complements of Bonnie Jean at SAFL
  • Passport: For some reason it says I was born in Minneapolis. This hasn't been a problem in the past, but still...
  • Books: Paradise Lost, The Omnivores Dilemma, and Lonely Planet Indonesian Phrasebook.
  • Toothpaste, Razor, NEW Toothbrush, Gel, Malaria meds, Diarhea meds.
  • Footwear: ~550 mile old Asics GT-2120's, Flip-flops
  • Guilty concession: 25 mile old Asics GT-2130's. How are you not going to bring running shoes?
For mes amis,
  • 3 data CDs of Western Music that contain, among other things, Dr. Dog, M.I.A. and White Rabbits
  • Three books on To Kill A Mockingbird for Jesse, as well as a West Side Story DVD for Jesse.
For Wearing:
  • Jono will try to outdo me by packing just two pairs of quick-drying undies. However, I will undercut him by bringing just one (1) pair of boxers.
  • 2pr running shorts/boxers standby
  • Swimming Trunks
  • 1pr Jeans purchased from that thrift store in Oberlin.
  • 3pr socks, running and otherwise.
  • 3 Shirts Maroon Plaid button up, Verein Berliner Austauschschuler T, Oberlin Racing Jersey
  • Marmot Raincoat I stole storage in Tank in 2006. It was in a box labeled 1986.
Thats it!

Take more underwear. It's not like it takes up all that much space, and you've really got to think about those around you, all around the world.

Do you think that raincoat might be Uncle Rob's? It could be a beautiful coincidence...

Happy travels!
